Under the persuasion of Boyaren, Munch finally realized his mistake and gave up his plan to personally lead the army to capture Dingxian.

It was handed over to a commander who accompanied him to the battle, and this commander was the eyes and ears of his uncle, Zuoxian Wang Uluchi. Meng Ke knew that there were many people in the army who were not easy to command, and they were afraid of losing the chain at critical moments, so they simply took this opportunity to trap them in this small county town.

Bo Yalun looked at the high-spirited Munch with a smile, and said in his heart that his imperial brother is becoming more and more experienced in dealing with things, and he has slowly grown into a qualified emperor.

Somehow, her mind flew from Munch to another teenager in the distance, wondering if he was doing lately? Did you heed your own admonition and shut the door?

If he knew that he had himself among the people who started this war, what would he think of himself? Will you resent yourself?

For a while, Bo Yalun's heart was in turmoil.

"Imperial Sister...... Royal sister, what are you thinking? I have something to ask you. Munch looked at Boyaren, whose face was constantly changing, and shouted strangely.

"Ah...... Brother Huang, what did you just say, the little sister didn't listen to the invitation, please say it again? Bo Yalun woke up and asked repeatedly.

Meng Ke looked at her in a trance, and said worriedly: "Imperial sister, are you too tired these days, do you need to rest for a while?" I'll leave it to me. ”

Bo Yalun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Huang, it's not in the way, it was the little sister who was thinking about one thing just now, so much so that she fell into a trance." You can rest assured, the little sister will definitely not delay anything in the future. ”

Munch breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I just asked where to march next?" And what should be done with the beaten city? ”

Bo Yalun pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously: "It depends on how the imperial brother plans, if you want to occupy these places, you naturally need to arrange to deal with the people in the city, and you must not kill them without authorization, after all, they will also be subjects of the empire in the future." ”

"If the imperial brother just wants to make a fortune and leave, then naturally he will transport all the items in the city, and then set a fire to burn the entire city. Either way, however, the slaughter of civilians is not recommended. ”

Munch Fox asked, "Why is that, and wouldn't it be a drag on us to keep them?" Taking them away will burden a lot of food, so that they can escape back to the territory of Great Xia, and only increase the national strength of Great Xia for nothing. Rather than that, it's better to kill them all. ”

When Bo Yalun heard this, he immediately anxiously persuaded: "No! The royal brother must not have the idea of killing the people, once this precedent is set. It will definitely leave a reputation for brutality on the imperial brother, and wherever the imperial brother commands the army in the future, the people will desperately resist in order to survive, which will bring great casualties to the imperial army. ”

Seeing Munch's thoughtfulness, she decided to strike while the iron was hot, "Brother Huang, even if there is a shortage of food now, I can't take them back to be slaves. Then expelling them to Xining City is also a good choice. ”

"You must know that after the locust plague, not only our Mengyuan is short of food, but they are also in Liangzhou. After letting them go, such a huge population will inevitably consume more of Xining's grain reserves; Besides, the population is large and mixed, and it is easy to conflict, so when the time comes, we can arrange for some sergeants to mix in among them to stir up trouble, and when the time comes, it may be much easier to attack Xining. ”

As soon as Meng Ke heard that what he said, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Imperial Sister, just do what you say." Pick some eloquent soldiers from the army, and blend in with them when the time comes. ”

Seeing that Munch agreed to his proposal, Bo Yalun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The launch of the war is not subject to her personal wishes, even if Su Ziheng does not understand herself in the future, she can find a way to ask for his understanding.

If it is really as Meng Ke said, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are killed, then it is almost 100% certain that Su Ziheng will never forgive himself. At least Bo Yalun didn't dare to risk losing Su Ziheng to gamble.

……

……

In the next few days, Meng Ke led the Mengyuan army all the way south, and when the Liangzhou army had not yet reacted, he connected three cities, plus Kangxian and Sichuan counties, and five county towns fell into the hands of the Mengyuan army.

At this moment, it was less than a hundred miles away from Xining City, the capital of Liangzhou, and the Mengyuan army, which had been like a bamboo, had finally encountered the strongest opponent, the black crow army from the witch Zhong Qinghan!

The Black Crow Army only had 3,000 iron cavalry, and under the command of Zhong Qinghan, they teased the 20,000 horses of Meng Yuan's forward army like monkeys, dragged them near Tanggu County, and supported them until the arrival of the Xiliang Army and the Zhongjia Army.

Tanggu County Ya.

At this moment, it was filled with dozens of people participating in the meeting, led by Zhong Gang, the commander of the Xiliang Army and the Zhong Family Army.

"I've seen the general (Xiliang Gong)."

Zhong Gang waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "No courtesy, the enemy is now, there is no need to be so polite in the future." Is Tanggu County available in the county? ”

Immediately, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan mandarin duck suit and a black gauze hat walked out and said to the chief of Zhonggang, who was seated: "Hao Chengze, the magistrate of Tanggu County, Xiaguan, has seen Xilianggong. ”

Zhong Gang glanced at him and asked coldly, "Hao Zhixian, tell me all the information you have so far." ”

Hao Chengze seemed to have a draft, and replied without panic: "Yes, if you go back to Xilianggong, according to the information obtained by the lower officials, the current Mengyuan army is led by the Great Khan Meng Ke himself with an army of 200,000, and it has already conquered five county towns in Liangzhou. According to the reports of the people who fled back, except for Liu Yuanzhi County in Dingxian County, who was still struggling to resist, the adults of the other counties were martyred. ”

Hearing this, everyone present showed sadness on their faces, and at the same time, their anger towards Meng Yuanjun was even stronger. One by one, they all threatened to go out, and all the Meng Yuan troops who would commit crimes in the future were wiped out in Liangzhou.

Zhong Gang frowned, "Why did Meng Yuanjun move so quickly?" From the time they declared war to today, it has only been three days, why did they conquer the five cities of Liangzhou, could it be that someone could not sacrifice the city? ”

Hao Chengze was shocked in his heart, this can be big or small, now the magistrates of the five counties have all died in battle, if they are defined by Xiliang Gong as someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death to sacrifice the city, then the magistrates of the five counties will be more or less responsible, and the court's pension will be reduced a lot in the future.

At that moment, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Xiliang Gong, according to the information obtained by the lower officials, Meng Yuan had already sent troops across Helan Mountain before the declaration of war, first attacked Sichuan County with fraud, and then used the same method to defraud Kang County. made the Meng Yuan army open a route to the hinterland of Liangzhou, and before everyone reacted, the five counties of Lianke. ”

Speaking of this, he looked back at Zhong Qinghan with palpitations, and complimented: "If it weren't for the arrival of the Donghai County Lord in time, I'm afraid that my Tanggu County would also fall into the hands of the Meng Yuan Army." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Gang fell on Zhong Qinghan, his eyes were full of relief, his voice slowed down slightly, and he nodded to her: "Qinghan, you did a very good job this time." ”

Zhong Qinghan came out of the ranks, "This is a matter of duty, it is incumbent on you to fight for the country!" ”
