Chapter 235 Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

Li De arranged the life and death of Nong Zhigao and the way out, and began to inquire about his battle with the Song army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info uh, it is said that Li De'an settled Nong Zhigao's life and death, which is really true. If Nong Zhigao is sent to Song Jun, Nong Zhigao will definitely be escorted to Tokyo to be sentenced by Ming Zheng. And if Nong Zhigao is allowed to return to Guangyuan Prefecture, with Nong Zhigao's familiarity there, those Song troops will not be able to catch him. So Li De'an's decision really set Nong Zhigao's life and death.

Although Li De'an was full of ridicule and contempt for Nong Zhigao when he blackmailed him just now, when he heard Nong Zhigao talk about the war with Song Jun, he didn't ridicule Nong Zhigao just now, and paid a little more attention to Nong Zhigao.

Now Nong Zhigao has fallen to the shelf, and he can be regarded as surrendering to the feet of the Jiaozhi people. In the future, he will point to Nong Zhigao to dig gold, but Li Dean did not ridicule and persecute Nong Zhigao too much. After all, even if you have a dog, you have to be a little nicer to it, and it will work hard for you, right?

Li Dean not only stopped ridiculing and sarcastically Nong Zhigao, but also asked Nong Zhigao to get some food. Nong Zhigao hadn't eaten since last night, and now a day and a night had passed, and he was already hungry. At that time, when he went to Yongzhou City, in order to bring more soft treasures, Nong Zhigao took those Nong soldiers and did not bring much dry food. If it weren't for the fact that they were too sleepy, they wouldn't have been caught so easily by the Cochins. After all, although the Cochin army was numerous, its cavalry was only 1,000. If Nong Zhigao's subordinates were all elite, it would be difficult to capture all of their five hundred horsemen.

Nong Zhigao is also a man who can bend and stretch, and at this time he has completely groveled to Li De'an, so he is not afraid of being laughed at. At this time, he saw that Li De'an's personal soldiers brought him a pot of noodles, and he was not polite at the moment, he took the small pot of noodles, and quickly finished eating it in one go.

After eating, Nong Zhigao wiped his mouth with his sleeve and patted Li De'an on the back and said, "The villain thanked the prince for his hospitality. Everyone is kind and benevolent, and today's villain is truly realized. ”

Li De'an scolded with a smile: "It's useless for you guy to talk about this, hurry up and continue to talk about the situation of your battle with those Song troops, this king has made plans early." In other words, aren't you very powerful, why did you suddenly lose so badly that you had been beating those Song Jun farts and urine. ”

"Yes, my lord, the villain will say this. Alas, it's really hard to say, it's really a long story, and it's full of tears. ”

"Don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and say, how can this king have the leisure time to listen to your nonsense here? There are still a lot of things to deal with here, so I'm busy, so let's get down to business. ”

"Yes, yes, villain! Speaking of which, the villain was unjustly defeated this time. This Guangyuan's Huang, Wei, and Wednesday are really pig teammates, it's too pit. When he fought with the Song army yesterday, the villain was leading the troops in front of him to fight a decisive battle with the Song army, and he was about to crush the Chinese army of the glaive formation set up by the Song army, but he didn't expect the leaders of the Huang, Wei, and Zhou families to escape with their own troops. As soon as they fled, they ran away with the majority of the Han soldiers under my command, and the villain could not withstand it with only his own 8,000 Nong soldiers, so he ...... Alas, it was defeated. ”

Li Dean listened to Nong Zhigao's words, and couldn't help but groan: "In that case, you lost so badly this time, not because the combat strength of the Song army against you this time suddenly became stronger, but because of your own internal strife." ”

Nong Zhigao listened to Li De'an's words, and immediately complained with a stomach: "Yes, that's it." If it weren't for the three families who caused chaos to the villain, the villain would have cleaned up those Song Jun chopping melons and vegetables. I treat them really well with Huang, Wei, and Wednesday, I really can't imagine them being so cheating. I think that when the villain raised the army, the three of them just watched coldly and did not help much. When the villain was like a bamboo, and when he entered a no-man's land in Liangguang, they brought troops to vote, obviously the villain who pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, and watched the wind and steered the rudder.

But the villain, I didn't care about their despicable behavior at that time, but didn't care about their previous suspicions and named them kings, uh, of course, this king is just the king of grass, and there is no comparison with a noble prince like you, the prince. I didn't expect them to know gratitude, and they even wanted to take my throne. Uh, of course, I, the emperor, am also playing around at home, I say so, don't mind, prince. As a result, our retreat was covered by those Song troops. At last...... In the end, it was defeated. Of course, I didn't get better, they didn't get better, I still have horses under my crotch, they escaped the pursuit of the Song army with a big foot, and they were probably almost killed, which can be regarded as helping me out of a bad breath. ”

Li De'an was still very shocked when he first heard that Nong Zhigao, who was still majestic not long ago and had never been defeated in the two Guangzhous, was defeated by the Song army in just one rendezvous.

He always thought that the Song army was the same as the Lingnan Song army that was defeated by Nong Zhigao, but he didn't expect that Di Qing, who came to quell the rebellion this time, would lead the Western army so powerfully, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart. Originally, Li De'an had made up his mind to seize the two vast lands, but this time, when he saw Nong Zhigao defeated so badly, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the strength of the Song army. Li De'an is known as the "King of the North" in the country of Jiaozhi, and he has the final say in the places north of the country of Jiaozhi, and it is basically up to him to decide.

If it occupies two provinces, it must be under the jurisdiction of him, the "king of the north". At that time, with the addition of Liangguang, the territory under his jurisdiction is even larger than that of his imperial brother. At that time, the natural majesty increased a lot. Well, of course, if he manages it well in the future, maybe he can be three points stronger than his imperial brother, and then the emperor of the Jiaozhi country, he thinks that he can also fight for it, everything is possible. Originally, Li Dean thought very beautifully, but when he saw Nong Zhigao being beaten by the Western Army and fleeing in all directions, he couldn't help but be afraid of the Western Army

At this time, Li Dean listened to Nong Zhigao's explanation of the reason for the failure, and then he understood that it was not how much stronger the Western Army led by Di Qing was than the previous Song Army, but the reason for the infighting in Nong Zhigao's army, and he couldn't help but make up his mind.

In Li De'an's heart, he couldn't help but suddenly feel that these Western troops were still like bears with the Song Army that was defeated by Nong Zhigao before, but this time they encountered the infighting of Nong Zhigao's army and picked up a big bargain, it is estimated that in terms of combat power, these Western Army and the previous Lingnan Song Army are the same formula and the same taste. Thinking of this, Li Dean couldn't help but be overjoyed again, he felt that his plan to occupy the two Guangxi was still very promising.

At that moment, Li De'an asked about the detailed military strength and combat strength of the Western Army.

Nong Zhigao did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "These Song troops are not very numerous, probably less than 30,000 people in total, of which there are about four or five thousand cavalry, but their cavalry is not difficult to deal with, as long as they fight in narrow terrain or rugged places, and do not let them rush, there is not much threat." The Song army is actually a shooting team, relying on those bows and crossbows to cause killing, and nothing else is worth mentioning. These crossbows are also easy to deal with, as long as the warriors carry wooden shields. When charging, the brave warriors at the front donned iron armor to deal with their crossbows. ”

Hearing what Nong Zhigao said, Li Dean couldn't help but nod again and again. Although he looked down on Nong Zhigao, Nong Zhigao had fought countless battles with the Song army after all, and they still had a lot of experience in dealing with the Song army. Since Li De'an was determined to seize the Liangguang region from the Song army, he had a lot of good looks for Nong Zhigao, so that he could get more experience and methods to deal with the Song army from Nong Zhigao.

Nong Zhigao's answer to Li De'an's self-exerting efforts to talk about the difference in the combat strength of the Song army. For example, in the past, when fighting, Nong Zhigao only had to mobilize the momentum of his subordinates, and as soon as he rushed up, the Song army would collapse. For example, the Song army relied on bows and crossbows to hurt people, as long as they rushed to their approach, and before they could meet those Song troops in short arms, often those Song troops scattered in a hurry, which was really vulnerable. Anyway, speaking of Nong Zhigao, Song Jun is no different from a paper paste. Between his words, he was very sorry and regretful for his defeat to the army of the Great Song Dynasty, which was almost like a paper paste.

Nong Zhigao's words were full of temptation for Li De'an, who was eager to try the Song army, so that a voice in Li De'an's heart kept saying to him: "Kill those Song soldiers who have no combat power, Liangguang is yours, what are you waiting for?" ”

Looking at Nong Zhigao's extremely depressed appearance, Li Dean patted Nong Zhigao on the shoulder and said, "Haha, don't regret it, you can't blame others for your failure." If you are more powerful and completely subdue the Huang, Wei, and Zhou families, how dare they rebel? It's better to blame yourself for not completely subduing them. ”

When Nong Zhigao heard Li De'an's words, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the prince is right, or the villain's ability is too low, and his Taoism is too shallow!" ”

Li Dean looked at Nong Zhigao's appearance of serving, and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, you have nothing to be wronged about, even if the Huang, Wei, and Zhou families don't rebel against you, and you defeat those Song troops as soon as possible, do you still dare to confront my Jiaozhi army?" As soon as my army arrives, you still have to surrender obediently? ”

When Nong Zhigao heard Li De'an's smug words, he couldn't help but run by 10,000 horses in his heart. Nima, if Lao Tzu hadn't been defeated by those Western armies, I would have let you Jiaozhi barbarians taste the power of my army. Still obediently handed over the territory to you? What about dreaming? If Lao Tzu's army is in hand, it is strange that you can't be killed!

However, although Nong Zhigao was galloping in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. After all, now he is a phoenix who has fallen home, uh, saying that he is a phoenix who has fallen off the shelf has lifted him a little, in fact, he is not even as good as a soup chicken at this time. At most, the soup chicken is wet, but his chicken is a chicken with his head on someone's board, after all, he is still being caught. Ahem, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads.

At that moment, although Nong Zhigao was churning with anger in his heart, he still had a cheap smile on his face, and said: "Lord Wang, you are right, even if the small ones defeat those Western armies, as soon as the prince's heavenly soldiers arrive, the villain will naturally enshrine these two Guang to the prince." The reason why the villain is so depressed is not because he lost the chassis of Liangguang, but because he can't send Liangguang to the prince himself, and he has to let the prince personally work hard to get it, and he is very depressed. ”

"Haha, why didn't this king find out before, Nong Zhigao, your guy has a very good mouth, and he speaks better than he sings. Well, but this king likes it, haha! ”

"Lord Mingjian, what the villain said is true! If the prince doesn't believe it, if our Jiaozhi army fights with the Song army, the villain is willing to take his subordinates to fight the vanguard for our Jiaozhi heavenly soldiers! ”

"Forget it, there are only a few of you Nong, and this king still relies on you to dig gold for me, but don't all die. Besides, my Jiaozhi army is strong, and even your miscellaneous army can easily deal with the Song army, and our Jiaozhi army can easily deal with it. You better hurry up and fetch me the treasures you have hidden in Guangyuan, and then give me the gold digging with peace of mind! ”

"Well, the villain listens to the king."

At that moment, Li De'an arranged two battalions of soldiers to follow Nong Zhigao tomorrow to dig up the treasure he hidden. Now that Li De'an has learned about the combat power of the Song army, he has decided to take advantage of the fire to rob, taking advantage of the fact that the Song army has just fought a big battle with Nong Zhigao, and he is not fully prepared, he is ready to march into the army to seize Liangguang as his own territory. Since he plans to fight the Song army, this force can be gathered as much as possible, and it is difficult to divide the troops again. So he only sent two battalions to follow Nong Zhigao to dig up the treasure.

Many places in Cochin are the Great Song Dynasty that studied, and learned a lot of Chinese etiquette, Chinese writing, Chinese clothing, and even their capital, Shenglong Mansion, is known as "Little Tokyo". The military formation of Jiaozhi is also the Great Song Dynasty of learning. Therefore, the two battalions sent by Li Dequan to dig up treasures with Nong Zhigao and the two battalions of the Great Song Infantry were also the same, and they were also 1,000 people.

Li De'an felt that no matter how many people there were, there was no need, and this thousand people should be enough to transport the hundreds of thousands of treasures hidden by Nong Zhigao to his base camp, Luocheng. At this time, a big war is imminent, and it is always taboo to divide troops, so Li De'an must concentrate his troops as much as possible, and if he can, he will not divide his troops.

As for the number of people he sent is too small, will Nong Zhigao play tricks? Li De'an felt that there was no need to worry at all. Nong Zhigao has long been afraid of their Jiaozhi people, and under the prestige of the Jiaozhi people, I am afraid that Nong Zhigao has no courage to play tricks again.

Besides, Li De'an felt that the Jiaozhi army was originally many times stronger than the Nong soldiers with high Zhigao, and at this time the number was more than twice that of the Nong soldiers, and those Nong soldiers had all been disarmed, so there was nothing to worry about at all. Therefore, Li De'an relieved that the two battalions of the Jiaozhi army followed Nong Zhigao to get the dozens of treasures he had buried, and he actively prepared for the war with the Song army.
