Chapter 618: Conquest of Hoh Xili
Jingle bells, a sound came, it turned out to be a black horse, and the horse had five small bells hanging around its neck. The man on this horse is rugged, his arms are powerful, his eyes are big, and his nose is a little collapsed, this person's name is Dalik, he is the first fierce general under Munch, and this time he went south, Dalik was responsible for opening the way, "Munch, it's not good, Yi Song led more than 3,000 cavalry to block in front and didn't let our people pass." ”
Munch was immediately furious, in terms of strength, there were only 10,000 soldiers in the Munch Department, but there were more than 30,000 people in Zhuolma, which was also the reason why Zhuorma had been suppressed by death for many years. In the past, for the sake of the lives of the clansmen, they may have retreated, but this time it is about the descendants of the clan, how can they retreat because of Yi Song's blockade, "Zhuoerma is simply too deceitful, brothers, copy guys, today is inevitably a vicious fight!" ”
Meng Ke led a group of angry Meng Ke young men and women to walk forward, twenty miles away from Qingtang City, Yi Song's three thousand cavalry lined up, seeing Meng Ke coming, Yi Song roared expressionlessly, "Meng Ke, by the order of Lord Zhuo Erma, the current military situation is urgent, the situation is unstable, no one is allowed to go south without the permission of Lord Zhuo Erma." ”
"Fart, Lao Tzu doesn't leave, when do you want Zoerma to nod? Yi Song, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise the fight will rise, and neither of you nor I will benefit! ”
"Munch, you are presumptuous" Yi Song is also a manic person, hearing the word fart, he immediately became angry, and he was about to fight Munch with a mace. As the leader of the tribe, Munch had absolutely no reason to retreat without a fight, and the two rushed to the front and exchanged a few rounds in an instant. I have to say that Yi Song is too impulsive, Zhuo Erma explained that as long as Meng Ke's people don't rush hard, don't die Liangzi, now Yi Song makes a move, things are out of control, thousands of Zhuo Ma cavalry attacked Meng Ke's people, and the two sides were quickly entangled.
Meng Ke fell into the melee, and Zhao Yougong led people quietly to Zongge City, Zongge City is twenty miles southeast of Qingtang City, because Zongge City is in Gaowei, so it has a natural strategic advantage over Qingtang City, and Zongge City has a point, that is, from Zongge City to the east, a horse Pingchuan, if there is a fine ride, it only takes half a day to arrive at Xixia Xiliangfu. Long before coming, Zhao Yougong, Zhang Yi and others had already discussed to conquer Zongge City. However, Zongge City is too close to Qingtang City, if there is no unexpected situation, as long as Zongge City has any changes, Zhuoerma can react quickly. And Li Bingzuo of Western Xia is not a fool, he naturally knows the importance of Zongge City, if the Dingguo Army blatantly fights Zongge City, it is estimated that Zhuoerma will resist desperately, and Li Bingzuo will also wave troops to support, for Li Bingzuo, some places can be lost, and some places can not be lost. Originally, it was almost an impossible task to secretly attack Zongge City, but the Dongfang officials' plan to sow discord gave a good opportunity.
Meng Ke and Yi Song fought viciously, Zhuo Erma's eyes were attracted to the past, as soon as Zhuo Erma relaxed, His Royal Highness Zhao and Yue Fei killed Zongge City, at this time Zongge City Guard is named Zongmu Renma, this Renma brother is good at everything, he just loves to drink, and there is a stinky problem, as soon as he drinks it, it will be endless, and he will not stop until he is drunk and asleep. This time, Zongmu Renma was drunk again, and this time he drank not only wine, but also Meng. Sweat medicine. Zongmu Renma slept like a dead pig, Yue Fei led the troops to attack the city, and the more than 2,000 people in the city were leaderless, and the order was chaotic.
Zongge City is too close to Qingtang City, even if it is deliberately concealed, it still quickly reaches Zhuoerma's ears, but at this time, Zhuoerma is leading an army of 10,000 to cooperate with Yi Song to defeat Meng Ke's department, as soon as the news of the fall of Zongge City came, Zhuoerma only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted. Shang Zhao Yougong's evil deeds, that bastard never planned to fulfill his promise from beginning to end, otherwise why would he sneak attack Zongge City?
"Oh my God, don't fight Munch, you idiot, let's all fall for Zhao Yougong's evil, he just wants us to kill each other, so he can take the opportunity to take Brother Zongcheng!"
Zhuo Erma shouted loudly, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides finally slowly separated, for Zhuo Erma, the fall of Zongge City was definitely an extremely unfavorable thing. But Meng Ke didn't think so, whether Brother Zongcheng was lost or not, what did it have to do with him, he only had to do with whether His Royal Highness King Qin could fulfill his promise.
The Dingguo army attacked Zongge City by surprise and quickly occupied this height, Li Bingzuo also sent people to pay attention to the movements of Qingtang City, as soon as he heard that Zhao Yougong did not fight Qingtang City and Langzhou, he knocked down Zongge City. Li Bingzuo smiled bitterly, patted the table, and muttered to himself, "This Zhao Yougong really has a lot of vision, and he can see the value of Brother Zongcheng at a glance." ”
Zhao Yougong took action here, Xiao Zhiyun, Pang He, Xiao Yue and Gao Zhong began to lead troops to approach Qingtang City from the southeast and southwest, and after less than half a day, Zhuoerma found that nearly 30,000 Dingguo troops had gathered near the city. The deployment and marching speed of the Dingguo Army are really too fast.
Li Bingzuo and Zhuo Erma naturally would not watch the Dingguo army occupy Zongge City, but unfortunately Zhuo Erma was trapped and the martial arts withdrew, and Li Bingzuo in the west should have Yue Fei's 4,000 army on the border, so he also broke off the idea of a surprise attack on Zongge City.
When Qingtang City was under siege, the net collection operation was also completed smoothly, and the rest of the time depended on how to take Qingtang City and kill Zhuoerma. Zhao Yougong doesn't like Zhuoerma at all, this guy has too many thoughts, who dares to use him with confidence, in comparison, the good old man Meng Ke who is dedicated to his clan is very good.
Ten miles south of Qingtang City, Zhao Yougong saw Meng Ke who led the clansmen to come, and when he looked at it, Meng Ke was not a stout person, he was not tall and thin, but his eyes were full of Dao essence. It was the first time for Meng Ke to see the legendary His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so according to the grand ceremony of Tubo, he stroked his chest with his right hand and said slowly, "A certain Meng Ke, lead the people to meet the king!" ”
"Excuse me, the Meng patriarch cares about the clansmen, he is really a good man in the world, as for what the king promised you, he will naturally do it, but at the moment, the matter of Qingtang City is more important, I wonder if the Meng patriarch can wait patiently?"
Zhao Yougong spoke kindly, not as fierce and evil as in the legend, unreasonable, Meng Ke had no choice, but he could only nod and agree. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Zhao didn't think about pitting Munch, giving some benefits to the Munch people, and also helping to accept other alien races in the future, right?
The army surrounded Qingtang City, Zhuo Erma sat in the room with a pale face, he couldn't understand why such a big change had taken place in just a few days, he thought that he could stop it, but he thought that the Dingguo army was so strong.
On the eighth day of the second month of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Yougong did not give Zhuo Erma too long, and after waiting for two days, tens of thousands of troops started a siege war under the command of Pang He. On the south city wall, when Yi Song was picked off by Gao Zhong with a shot at the head of the city, it was also announced that the south city wall had fallen, followed by the east city wall, in the eighth mode of the first month of February, after three hours of vicious fighting, the Dingguo army finally took control of this border city, the city was broken, and Zhuoerma also committed suicide in the general's mansion.
After Qingtang City was taken, Zhang Yi sent someone to pick up more than 100,000 Meng Ke tribesmen, seeing that His Royal Highness Zhao was true to his words and really helped to settle the clansmen, Meng Ke's worried heart was also relaxed. Occupy the Qinghai area, the next is naturally the Huangtou Hui, and now the Huangtou Huihui ruler is Moyan Khan, whose real name is Wumodu. After more than 100 years of breeding, there are more than 200,000 people in the Yellow Head Uighurs, almost equal in number to the Xizhou Uighurs, and both the Yellow Head Uighurs and the Xizhou Uighurs have a common characteristic, that is, they believe in Manichaeism.
It should not be a problem to defeat the Yellow Head Uighurs, but the Western Uighurs are a bit troublesome, and the Western Uighurs have more than 40,000 armored men and a vast area, and it is not so easy to conquer the Western Uighurs. And in the south of the Uighurs in Xizhou there is also a Khotanese people, Khotan, is a descendant of Tocharian in the Tang Dynasty, in the early Tang Dynasty, after Tocharian destroyed the Yue Clan, the power arrived at the Keriya River, five dynasties, and sent troops to the east, hit the Cherchen River, and now it is also tens of thousands of young and strong, the power should not be underestimated.
Zhao Yougong felt that the current situation was really getting more and more interesting, these small countries in the Western Regions were intricately combined, and they could easily win by dealing with them alone, but the problem was that they must not let these small countries in the Western Regions unite. How do you fight it? Zhao Yougong pondered, and at this time, Pang He entered the house and proposed a building to Zhao Yougong.
"Your Highness, since the Uighurs are heavily guarded, why don't we fight Kriya first, and then defeat the Khotanese."
Zhao Yougong thought about Pang He's suggestion and felt that there was some truth, if he could start with the Khotanese first, he would definitely be able to surprise and put an end to the possibility of the Xizhou Uighurs joining forces with the Khotanese people. But after thinking about it, he shook his head again, "My general, this method is good, but how can it be done?" You know, if you want to go to the territory of the Khotanese people, there is still a Hoh Xili mountain range. ”
"Your Highness, the last general has heard before that the Hoh Xil Mountains are connected from east to west, and now we are not in a hurry, why not try it?"
Zhao Yougong thought carefully about Pang He's words, if the Hoh Xil Mountains are connected from east to west, that is to say, it is completely possible to directly pass through the Hoh Xil Mountains and arrive at the area of the Keriya River unexpectedly. Soon, Zhao Yougong agreed to Pang He's suggestion, since he was not in a hurry to start a war, why not try, maybe as Pang He said, he could find a way to the Keriya River.
"General Pang, this king has allowed you half a month, you can give it a try, but you must not force it, in addition, this king will put Zheng Biao's mountain camp under your command!"
"Your Highness rest assured, if it really doesn't work, the last general will definitely return, if there is no movement for 20 days, then the last will definitely find a way, and then His Highness can rest assured that he will attack Huangtou Hui."
On the second day, Pang He led an army of 8,000 and rushed to the western pass of Hoh Xili Mountain with Zheng Biao's troops.
The Hoh Xil Mountains, a broad backbone across the plateau, whether you can conquer this mysterious mountain range depends on Pang He's ability. R1152
