Chapter 496: Brilliant Results

According to the information obtained by Li Yi, more than 3,000 troops on the southern front in Yunnan have been stationed in the hidden area of Luoping County near the border of the Qiqi State under the leadership of Jian Zheng. According to the prior plan, before the New Year, the attack on the state of Qiqi will not be launched for the time being, but will wait until the two armies of Wuwei and Wu Xun have made a surprise attack on all fronts, and then Yunnan will be dispatched.

At present, there are only more than 500 guards stationed in Yihe County, and none of them have any actual combat experience, if they can arrange internal personnel in advance, they can capture Xingyi County, Dewo Town, and Weilong Town at the fastest speed, once these three places are returned to Yunnan, the entire southern part of the Qiqi Kingdom will surely collapse, and Li Yi's goal will be achieved.

On the third day after the New Year, Li Yi received news from Uwei that 8,000 soldiers from Jiudong and Eighteen Villages had crossed the Sancha River and launched a full-scale attack on the country. However, under the vigorous resistance of nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Qiqi Kingdom, the two sides attacked and defended each other in the Sancha River Valley, and the battle showed a stalemate trend.

At this critical time, the 6,000 Zhenxiong elite soldiers led by Wu Xun and Tuoba Huang launched a surprise attack from the flank, which caused the formation of the Qiqi Kingdom to be in chaos, and the whole line collapsed after holding on for only a few hours.

The fierce attack of the two coalition forces made the army of the Qiqi State crushed, and after losing thousands of people, they hurriedly retreated to the last pass in front of the capital Zhenning, Ninggu Pass.

However, Ninggu Pass is actually not a dangerous place, and there are several passages around it that can go directly to Zhenning, so Wu Wei and Wu Xun divided their troops and went straight behind Ninggu Pass from the mountain road, completing the comprehensive encirclement of Ninggu Pass, making Zhenning, the capital close at hand, already precarious.

The troops on the southern front of Yunnan, under Jian Zheng's ingenious arrangement, sent more than 100 warriors including Wan Hong in advance, disguised as merchants, and mixed into the county town of Yihe in advance. After the Battle of Sancha River began, Wan Hong and others joined forces with Jian Zheng outside the city, cut through the pass and seized the lock, took the entire territory of Yihe County in one fell swoop, and seized the almost undefended Dewo Town and Weilong Town non-stop, forming a huge threat to the southern defense line of the Qiqi Kingdom.

In this grim situation, the whole country was shocked. Ninggu Pass was heavily besieged, and the coalition army was only forty miles away from Zhenning, the capital of the Qiqi Kingdom. Except for the thousands of soldiers defending Zhenning, the country of Qiqi has no troops to adjust.

The officials and guards of Xingren, Zhenfeng, Anlong and other counties in the south were invincible, abandoned the city and fled, and had fled to Wangmo Prefecture, an important town in the southeast of the country, and the situation in the south of the country was precarious, and they could only rely on the Hengguan Pass as the last barrier.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because Qiu Feng had successfully persuaded the black barbarians in the muddy mountains, the Gelao people in Woyan Mountain, the Sanmiao people in Datianyu, and the Qiang people in Longchong Valley, and nearly 100 cottages, when the army entered, they did not encounter any organized resistance at all, and they smoothly marched to Pu'an Pass, an important town in the western part of the country.

In order to reduce the casualties of the officers and soldiers in Yunnan, Li Yi arranged for a well-known local Qiang tribal leader to go to Pu'an Pass to persuade the Qiang guard to return to Ji. After weighing the pros and cons of himself, he finally decided to sacrifice the city to Yunnan, so that Pu'an Pass fell into the hands of Yunnan without blood.

When these cities fell into the hands one after another, the land area of the country had lost more than one-third. Ten days later, the Yunnan army on the western and southern fronts broke through several enemy lines and finally joined forces near Guanling. By this time, the front was flat, and the soldiers had already pointed directly at Zhenning, the capital of the Qiqi Kingdom, which was less than a hundred miles away.

At the same time, while besieging Ninggu Pass, the combined forces of Uwe and Wu Xun ambushed the last main force of the Qiqi State that came from Zhenning to reinforce in the Zhexi area on the southwest side of Ninggu Pass, capturing and killing more than 5,000 enemy troops, so that the Qiqi State was no longer capable of relieving Ninggu Pass.

Under the influence of this major defeat, the defenders of Ninggu Pass were already hopeless to get out of trouble, and in desperation, they were forced to surrender the city.

The king of Qiqi, Puli, lost all confidence, and had to abandon the capital Zhenning, fled south to Luodian Mansion, and sent envoys to Yunnan and Jiudong and Eighteen Villages respectively to sue for peace.

When he was hesitating after meeting with the envoy of the Qiqi Kingdom, Lin Yi sent Dongfang Jing, the secretary in charge, from Ningzhou to report that the envoy sent by the imperial court had arrived in Ningzhou and had just been arranged to stay at the Ningzhou Post House.

Moreover, Dongfang Jing specially reported to Li Yi that the imperial envoy who came this time was King Hu Bin, a scholar from Zhongshushe, although it seems that the grade is not very high, but it is only an official position on the sixth grade, but this person is in an important position in the center, a counselor, and his status in the court and China cannot be underestimated.

And I heard that this person is upright, not smiling, upholding the position of neutrality in the court, has always been impartial, so he is an official that the emperor Liu Yan trusts very much.

Hearing this unexpected news, Li Yi didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Happily, Yunnan has already reported good news to the imperial court after three battles and three victories, but there has been no news in the past four months, and I don't know what the intentions of the imperial court are. And now that I finally look forward to the imperial envoy, no matter what, I finally have some explanations.

The worry is that Li Pian sent some letters to his family a few years ago, but he did not mention the visit of the envoy, which made him a little passive, it seems that the news of the envoy's visit this time is very tightly blocked, and even Li Pian has not had time to deliver the news.

Moreover, as far as Li Yi knows, among some confidants in the capital who often interact with him Hongyan, there is no such King Hubin, so it can be seen that this person's friendship with that champion Li Yi should be very ordinary, let alone any confidant and friend.

Li Yi was a little worried, dealing with such a principled and serious person, I am afraid that there will be no useful information, maybe more can only be generalized.

When Li Yi hurried back to the Xuanfu Embassy in Ningzhou and saw the king of Hu Bin, who was in an important position in the center, Li Yi felt more deeply that this was a figure who would never be easily swayed by others.

King Hubin was only in his early thirties, not tall or short, slightly fat, but dark-skinned and not outstanding in appearance. Especially his long, narrow and slightly narrowed eyes, cold and dull, without the slightest hint of eagerness, giving people a feeling of respecting and staying away.
