At the same time, it was not only Lingnan who raised the butcher's knife together. In the far northwest, the partymen, who were already dead candles in the wind, began a quiet palace coup d'état, which eventually led to a bloody killing.

Li Renai, the prince of Western Xia, was sad that the state affairs were difficult, and the Han was arrogant and died of grief at the age of 14. Queen Yelu Nanxian was saddened by the death of her beloved son, and was overly grieved, and followed in a few days.

Listen, isn't that ridiculous? After Li Yuanhao killed a princess of Xingping of the Liao State, Li Qianshun lived up to the good name of his ancestors and also killed a princess of the Liao Kingdom. And the blue is better than the blue, and a prince is added.

It's just that Liao Xingzong Zeng Xing's soldiers entered Western Xia with 100,000 taels, although they were all defeated and returned, but they also showed the arrogance of the boss. The current Emperor Tianzuo doesn't have that ability. And this may also be the most direct reason for Li Qianshun's brazen attack.

With the attitude of "whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway", the political pattern among the remnants of the party changed abruptly, and Li Qianshun did this to completely isolate the external forces of the Khitan and seek the unity of the "internal" forces. After Yelu Nanxian went, he immediately canonized the queen concubine Mi Bao.

Mi Bao clan is a big party family, one of the eight party departments that year. Li Qianshun's intention in this move was very straightforward, and he did not hesitate to kill his wife, who had been in harmony with him for many years, and the crown prince, who had been in love for many years, but also to firmly unite the remnants of the entire party around him.

Such a drastic change can be described as 'turning the world upside down', Li Qianshun abandoned the Khitan and turned to seek internal unification. This ultimately affected not only Xiao Heda [Li Heda], who had been captured for more than a year, but still kept silent, but also affected the status of a group of supporters around Yelu Nanxian's mother and son.

Not to mention the appeal brought by the orthodox status of the mother and son, let's just say that Emperor Tianzuo 'came back to life', although the current Great Liao has lost Liaodong and Yanyun, and its strength has declined, it still occupies the northern prairie, and it is still strong. That makes many party members have expectations in their hearts.

Both the Liao State and the Western Xia were victims of the rise of the Central Plains, and in the eyes of many party nobles, the two families were not only in-laws, but also natural allies.

Therefore, Li Qianshun's choice was a great touch on the entire Khitan. At the same time, this guy is too vicious and makes people's hearts cold.

Xiao Heda was even more angry and couldn't wait to kill Li Qianshun alive with a knife, and immediately contacted Wei Mingqu Huai for the Northwest Army, who was guarding Ganzhou with Li Liangfu, a party general. Since Liangzhou was taken by the Northwest Army, the party retreated to Ganzhou. It will also be Zhangye of the Hexi Corridor, this place is indeed a blessed land, with mountains on the left and right, fertile plains around, and there is no shortage of water. A big mountain at the junction of it and Liangzhou is the famous Yanzhi Mountain. It is the "loss of my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals do not rest; Lose my Yanzhi Mountain, so that my wife has no color".

Wei Ming Qu Huai personally led thousands of troops to sit here, but Ganzhou City was led by Li Liangfu with nearly 10,000 troops. Both of them were from the Dangxiang royal family, but Li Liangfu's status was obviously higher. The reason has been mentioned above, the name of Wei is the original surname of Tuoba Dangxiang, and the two coexist in Western Xia, roughly like the yellow belt and red belt of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, and the royal family is mostly surnamed Li, and the clan is the name of Wei.

This person's life was saved by Xiao Heda, not Xiao Heda, Wei Ming Qu Huai had already died in Xiazhou. In his heart, he was grateful to Xiao Heda, and then became a general in the camp of Yelu Nanxian's mother and son, and he must have been affected by this fluctuation.

"I heard that your lord wants to set up eight banners, and now Xiao dares to ask one of them to give up his name, I don't know if Emperor Qi can allow it?" Xiao Heda looked at Zhu Wu with blazing eyes.

The Divine Machine Master laughed loudly, "General Wei Ming abandons the darkness and turns to the light as he wishes, why does my lord regret to treat the lord of a banner?" General Xiao should know that Xiao Ke has been waiting for a long time with an edict in his hand. "Lu Qian originally planned to set up a flag for the remnants of the party, and it was only fitting that Xiao Heda, a Khitan with the name of Xiao Heda, was actually quite famous in the party and the army.

Now Xiao Heda is going to be replaced, which is also a matter of one sentence.

The gentleman laughed. Xiao was disheartened and had no intention of fighting. I only hope that in the future, I can save my wife and children safely, and the family will be reunited, so I will be satisfied. ”

"In that case, then don't bother the two masters. How about the Sprinkle family annoying General Xiao personally going to Yanzhi Mountain? The next day, Lu Zhishen came to see Xiao Heda in person. The style is even more straightforward and atmospheric.

Listening to Monk Hua's words, Xiao Heda's heart was really moved at this moment. Not for anything else, just because of this trust.

"Haha, that's a bad thing. General Xiao is loyal and righteous, and the Sprinkle family admires him very much. is such a good man, how can he be that untrustworthy villain? ”

The flower monk spoke sincerely, and asked Xiao Heda to listen to the ironing in his heart. This monk is coarse and detailed, and he knows that for people like Xiao Heda, such words are just right.

And Xiao Heda's exit is also extraordinary. immediately persuaded Wei Mingqu.

In the city of Ganzhou at that time, Li Liangfu was also worried. The change in the political situation on Sandbank made him feel uneasy. Although it cannot be denied that this can unite the remnants of the party to a great extent, it will also have a great impact on the party in the short term.

Obviously, the actions of the Yellow Head Uighurs and the Gaochang Uighurs in sending envoys to the Central Plains put a lot of pressure on Li Qianshun.

But fortunately, the situation of the party is dangerous, and they have all stood on the edge of the cliff, and the huge pressure from the Central Plains has made many people know that it must be stable now, and Li Qianshun's move is also to promote his own family, right? Therefore, his position is still firm and unshakable. He still had time to prove to everyone that he had made the right choice.

But soon Li Liangfu had no time to immerse himself in the inner world, and the sound of fighting suddenly sounded outside Ganzhou City. The front part of the party soldiers and horses was stationed in Yanzhi Mountain, and the rear part remained in Ganzhou, but not all of them entered the city. It is still a nomadic party whose main way of life, and there are a lot of people outside the city.

In the night, I saw the sound of killing in the distance, and the flames soared into the sky, reflecting the sky in red.

"Report!" One rushed in. Li Liangfu's face turned pale, and he looked at the visitor: "What's wrong?" "He only hoped that a small number of Hannu were in rebellion.

"All the army, it's not good! There is a large number of enemy troops outside the city! ”

"A large force of enemy troops?" Li Liangfu's mind was in chaos, Yanzhi Mountain and there was no battle report coming, how could a large number of enemy troops be killed in the city? But then he shuddered, thought of a possible ......, and his face turned pale.

"How many people are coming?" Li Liangfu shouted.

"There are as many torches as stars, and there are tens of thousands of people!"

Li Liangfu trembled again.

"Drumming, drumming. Pass my orders, and the whole army is ready for battle! Seeing that some people around him were still stunned, Li Liangfu shouted loudly. No matter how those enemy troops killed the city, no matter whether the guys on the Yanzhi Mountain surrendered or not, the horizontal enemy has arrived.

Fortunately, there are still thousands of people in the city, as long as the organization is effective, it may not be impossible to keep Ganzhou. At least give Suzhou [Jiuquan] a time to prepare.

After Ganzhou is Suzhou, that is, Jiuquan County in the Han Dynasty, from there to the west is Guazhou and Shazhou, the latter is Dunhuang, and then not far to the west is the ancient Yumen Pass. Now the remnants of the Dangxiang army have continued to cross the Dangjin Pass to the southwest and invaded the Qaidam Basin.

To the west of the Jinshan Pass is the Altun Mountain, and to the east is the Qilian Mountain. The Dangjin Pass, which is seven or eight miles wide, is one of the important passages connecting the Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions and Tibet. Judging from the geographical knowledge of later generations, it is considered to enter Qinghai after crossing here.

The territory of the Qaidam Basin is very vast, but what it looks like inside is clear to future generations. However, the fact that the remnants of the Uighurs in Ganzhou were able to survive here for nearly a hundred years also shows that this place was alive and well.

A hundred party members don't look down on Chaidamu, no, they don't look down on Tuyuhun. At this time, Qaidam was also called Tuyuhun, because the most essential Hehuang area of Tuyuhun [Qinghai Lake] is now in the hands of the Han people.

Without the Qinghai Lake area, where water and grass are abundant, the Tuyuhun hometown is only left with the desert and dry desolate Gobi, which is a slag compared to the former Hetao Pingyuan of the Dangxiang people. The party members may be able to survive here and continue, but if they want to revive again, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"If Li Qianshun has the courage to enter the Western Regions, the younger brother will give up his life to fight for him. However, this guy was cowardly, afraid of Gao Chang's power, and turned his troops to fight into Tuyuhun to find the trouble of the yellow-headed Uighurs. even killed the queen's mother and son in one fell swoop, which is really cold. ”

In the face of the position of the banner master, when he was in Xiazhou, he also fought side by side with Xiao Heda, and Qu Huai, who fought desperately for the Western Xia Kingdom, surrendered very simply, and the reasons for this really came from all sides.

Li Liangfu gave an order, and the surrounding soldiers immediately went to give the order, and the sound of war drums resounded throughout Ganzhou City. However, only a few moments later, two of their own soldiers fled in disarray.

"All the army, the big thing is not good. Big things are not good......"

Li Liangfu's heart sank.

The soldiers in front of him were all about to cry: "General Cao, General Luo, and General Lu ......, they didn't follow orders, and they also said that they were going to surrender the Central Plains Great Qi!" ”

"What did you say?" Li Liangfu's brain was buzzing, Cao Luo was a Han Chinese, but he had been in Western Xia for several generations, and the Gang family was a child of the party's big clan. "These rebellious ministers and thieves dare to be so rebellious......"

The sturdy bodies were shaking, and they almost fainted. Because those three people have enough control over the small half of the troops in the city. Their rebellion turned into elbows and armpits, and they were caught off guard, and the city of Ganzhou was in danger.

And so it is. While speaking, the drums and trumpets sounded, and the city of Ganzhou was broken. A large force of soldiers and horses from outside the city had already stormed the city, as the defenders took the initiative to open the city gates.

Smoke and dust billowed and the sound of killing shook the sky. Many party members in the city resisted to the death, but the enemy poured in like a tide, and it was impossible to resist it.

"The governor has an order, and those who dare to resist will be killed." The high-pitched shouts thundered.

Sitting on a horse, his eyes obscured by blood, his vision dark red. But he didn't have the slightest timidity when he looked at the influx of enemy troops, and there were more than ten wounds on his body, which made him already have the heart to die. He could barely hold the broadsword in his hand, but when he saw a group of enemies rushing closer, he laughed and mustered up his strength and rode forward. When a broadsword is wielded, it is a slash.

The long knife tore a piece of blood, and the current three or four soldiers were slashed and killed by Lisuo like chickens and ducks.

Wei Mingli disappeared into the crowd, set off a few bright blood flowers, and then came to the end of his life in the same voice of several people. The word "kill" sounded almost at the same time, and several spears stabbed into his body, and Wei Mingdali only felt a chill on his body, but he didn't feel pain, only a sense of relief - finally, finally...... He's dead.

The streets and alleys of the city were littered with corpses, blood gathered into rivers, and the blood gushed out until dawn.

At dawn, the sound of killing had stopped, and Lu Zhishen led tens of thousands of armor soldiers to stay outside the city, but the main force of last night's fight was Wei Ming Qu Huai and the rebels in the city.

Vote for a name, nothing more than that.

At this moment, Wei Mingqu Huai and the soldiers in the city were carefully searching the battlefield and checking out the wounded soldiers and corpses one by one.

The wounded soldiers of their own side were transported to the logistics camp tent, and the wounded soldiers on the opposite side were mended with a knife.

And weapons, armor, flags, horses were counted one by one.

The soldiers were very busy, but the generals in the city had to come to meet Lu Dudu, Cao Ding, Luo Yuanju and Pang Gang straightened their clothes and armor and slowly entered the camp.

Xiao Heda, an acquaintance, led them straight into the Chinese military tent, Cao Ding and the three of them were worried in their hearts, and as soon as they entered the big tent, they knelt down, took off their helmets, and their foreheads touched the ground, not daring to move at all

Lu Zhishen was very happy in his heart, this was effortless to take Ganzhou. Said to the three people below: "Don't be restrained, get up quickly." ”

The three generals kowtowed again to thank him, and after standing up, he saw that the generals in the tent were gathered, Wei Mingqu Huai and Xiao Heda did not mention, the Yang family brothers, the Wu family brothers, Wang Jin, Shi Dalang, all wearing Ming armor and swords, and their sharpness was compelling. In the middle is a large bald head, with a round face and large ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a beard on the cheeks. He is eight feet long and his waist is ten girths. It is the flower monk Lu Zhishen.

"The three generals are well aware of the righteousness, and they rebelled, which is the blessing of the world and the blessing of the family!" If it weren't for the counterattack between Wei Mingqu and them, how could it be so easy to take Ganzhou?

Cao Ding glanced at each other, and Cao Ding said: "The governor praises the villains and others are really frightened." It was a great sin to rely on the dark lord to fight against the heavenly soldiers, but fortunately, the governor was magnanimous, and Xu Xiaoren and others returned to the new dynasty, so that we were really grateful, and we should be smeared with liver and brain, and repay with death, so as to live up to the kindness of the governor, and not to live up to the grace of Your Majesty. ”

These are all necessary procedures to play right, and Monk Hua nodded with satisfaction. "Since you are obedient, you are your own family. and included in the proceedings. ”

The three of them hurriedly retreated and stood at the bottom. Listening to the general's column, he said: "Governor, the results of this battle have not yet been counted, only the data of our army." Nearly 1,000 people were killed, 1,200 soldiers were wounded, 3,200 horses were killed, and countless weapons, armor, and banners were obtained. "As for the specific data on killing and capturing the enemy, it has not yet come out, but there will be no less than four or five thousand people.

It didn't take a single soldier to achieve such a big victory, and it even gave the Northwest Army an additional vassal army that did not share the sky with the party, and this wave of operations was really profitable.

When Li Qianshun decided to unite the remnants of the party more closely, he certainly never thought that there would be such a big twist and turn within the party. Originally, the party members were greatly damaged in strength, but now they have lost an important city for nothing, not to mention, and more than 10,000 valuable soldiers and horses, which is definitely a big bad news.

And for Emperor Lu, who was far away in Yidu, such a great news was that ten more would not be too many.

It's a wave of rewards right now. The famous man held the edict that the Emperor Lu gave him, and he was not embarrassed. And Xiao Heda looked at the handwritten letter sent to him by Ye Luchun, and he also laughed so complicated.
