Lijing City, also known as Lingu City, another large city in the Hehuang Valley, is located in the west of Qingtang City, not far from Qing/Haihu Lake. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Jiaoguo Luo was based on Hehuang, he did a great thing. He connected Qingtang City, Li Jingcheng, Qing/Haihu, and Gaochang as a line and opened up a road. The Qingtang City passes through Hezhou, or Lan/Zhou in the northeast, and connects with the Central Plains, forming a trade route.

As a result, the Central Plains and the Western Regions were once again connected, and the Silk Road, which had been interrupted by war, was reopened.

It is precisely because of this that Hehuang and Tubo have become a transit station on the Silk Road, thus prospering. Of course, it was precisely because of this that the position of Western Xia in the Silk Road trade was shaken, and the two countries had many wars.

The position of Lijing City is also becoming more and more important, in addition to the Silk Road to the northwest, to Gaochang. To the south, it was to intimidate and control many Tibetan tribes. Outside of Qingtang City, it has become a pivotal city.

In the early years, there were many contradictions between Jiao Guluo and Li Lizun, and the much-loved Mrs. Qiao and her young son Dong Yu lived in Lijing City. There were 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and it was prosperous and powerful, and no one dared to invade it. As a result, the Tibetan tribes in the western part of the Hehuang River and the Silk Road were firmly controlled.

The reason why Jiaoguo Luo was able to defeat Li Lizun is also related to this. In terms of status, importance, and relationship with Dong Yu, Li Jingcheng has some meaning of accompanying the capital in Tubo, and when Qingtang City is in danger, Zampu often moves to Li Jingcheng to dominate the overall situation, which seems to be logical.

It also made sense for the Tibetan minister to propose to transfer to Lijing City, after all, the Song army's troops had already reached the vicinity of Qingtang City, which was very dangerous.

Relatively speaking. To the west, Lijing City is safer. Zampu and the prince are noble. How can you be so easily in danger?

This state of affairs. and the capital of the Central Plains Dynasty was attacked, and it was a reason for the courtiers to kneel and ask the emperor to leave.

At this time, the emperor usually has two choices!

Hold on to the city or flee to safety.

As for how to choose, first of all, it depends on the actual situation, if the enemy's forces are really strong enough to resist, then abandon the city and leave, save the strength, and leave the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood. Again, the light is restored.

Of course, whether it can resist or not is also related to the confidence of the emperor and ministers, as well as the soldiers who defend the city. Perhaps the enemy was not so strong, but the emperor and his ministers were frightened and wavered, and abandoned the city and fled. What are the consequences? Under such circumstances, morale will inevitably be low, the morale of the army will be weakened, and it is inevitable that the city will be ruined.

There are many such examples. During the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji went to Bashu. Later in turmoil. There is also the saying that the Son of Heaven moved three times. Of course, there is a strong enemy army, but the emperor slipped away first, which undoubtedly chilled the soldiers, where is the heart to defend the land?

There are also emperors who choose to stick to the city, and the Ming Dynasty Son of Heaven guards the country. As for the Great Song Dynasty, when Prime Minister Kou Zhunqiang invited Zhenzong to conquer Lanzhou, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the invincible Liao army suffered a defeat.

In such a situation, the emperor was in the city, and the soldiers naturally had to use their lives to protect the most noble core of the dynasty. At the same time, the emperor's bravery and persistence will also resonate with the hearts of the soldiers and inspire the morale of the army.

Now, Dong Yu is also facing such a situation!

To go, or not to go!

When the opinion was put forward, Dong Yu didn't know what to say for a while.

Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Chapter but secretly helpless, if Zampu is gone at this time, then the whole city will definitely be shaken, and the morale of the army and the people will be scattered, how to confront the Song army?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, Qingtang City will be self-defeating. How terrible is it for a country that the capital has been breached? A land like a river will be lost. Along the Huangshui, it is the most fertile and fertile land. In that case, the country will not be a country, and the river and Tubo will basically be over.

Zamp can't go!

This is Qing Yijie's opinion, but he is not easy to say.

After all, Qingtang City is in danger, Zampu is here, if there are three long and two short, the consequences will be unimaginable. He didn't dare to take risks, he couldn't afford it. Even if he had the confidence to guard Qingtang City like an iron bucket, he still didn't dare to play this package. After all, there are accidents in everything, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

He didn't want to be under too much pressure, and he didn't want his family to be burdened with heavy pressure and risk. Some things are okay for others to say, but he must not speak easily.

Qing Yi Jie's eyes fell on Dong Yu, he hoped that Zan Pu was a tough person who could have the courage to face everything and make a wise decision.

Ali Gu and Lin Qibi also have their own ghosts, the most depressed is Ali Gu, he has finally realized a problem now, Lin Zhao is uneasy and kind to let him back. He can probably understand Lin Zhao's purpose, but there are many things that he can't control at all, and he inadvertently falls into the trap of others.

Now that he has lost the life of his younger brother Su Nan Dangzheng, Ali Gu is very unwilling, he wants to rush up and fight Lin Zhao to the death, so as to avenge his younger brother.

But reason told him that he had to be calm now, it was hard to say whether it was Lin Zhao's opponent, the fundamental problem was that there was no opportunity and space to play now.

Whether or not to stay in Qingtang City has become a question, what should I do? He also has a little calculation in his heart.

Qingtang City is very dangerous, and it is safer to go to Lijing City. This is only one aspect, what Ali Gu thought of was that there was already a Qingyi Ghost Chapter in Qingtang City, and there was no room for him to play at all, and it was not even possible to take power.

It's different to go to Lijing City, it's safer there! Moreover, Li Jing City also has a large number of troops, and it can also gather people from nearby tribes, so it can quickly increase its strength. How much is still good, but at such a critical juncture, such an urgent matter, where can I casually open my mouth?

If you leave Qingtang City at this time, you will inevitably be called a coward, but if you want to be pointed out by a thousand people, your reputation will be ruined at that time. You must not do such a thing as self-destruction of the Great Wall, but if you go on official business and have a reason to do it, it will be different. It's just that this kind of thing needs to be done by chance and carefully. It's not okay to be in a hurry.

Lin was a little scared. He has been relatively timid since he was a child. Especially when the Song army was about to besiege the city, Qingtang City was in danger, which made him very uneasy. Moreover, when he heard that Sanji Tsering was the fuse, he was even more afraid. Although it was something that the people of the Song Dynasty had planned for a long time, after all, it was a mess that he instructed his subordinates to poke, would his father blame him? Will it be repellent by its subjects?

All the emotions gathered in his heart, and Lin was more uneasy than his heart. The rise and fall of the chest is noticeably aggravated. At the same time, he also took into account the issue of power, if everyone stayed in Qingtang City, then who should control the army of Li Jingcheng? That is the last power of Hehuang, and it is also a force that can make people protect themselves, or turn over the capital, who can let it go?

Not only that, but even if he failed in the end, with the status of the dual concubines of the Western Xia and the Uighurs, he could sneak away to his eldest brother to seek refuge. At least you can save your life and keep your wealth and glory. If you stay in Qingtang City. In case the city is breached, it will either be killed in battle. or become a prisoner of the Song army. As for dying with the country, he could not do such a feat.

Suicide is a thing that requires courage.

Moreover, no matter what, he is the prince of Tubo, and he can't be too cowardly at this time, and he is despised by others. But after all, it is a big event, and I have just made a mistake, so I naturally dare not speak easily.

Whether to abandon the city and flee, or desperately hold on, this matter is not up to them. Everyone's eyes fell on Zampu Dong Yu, expecting him to make a decision in his favor.

In such a situation, Dong Yu is under the greatest pressure. Unexpectedly, the Song army actually came to the city, and Qingtang City didn't get any news at all.

Although there is still Qingtang City to defend, the siege of the capital is a great blow to him, the lord of the river. Dong Yu had a feeling that he was not good, thinking of his father's worries when he was dying, and sure enough, Hehuang was already in danger. Maybe the foundation of Hehuang will die in two generations and be buried in his own hands.

The psychological impact was too great, Dong Yu was a little messy and a little flustered. However, reason and Zampu's cultivation told him that no matter how panicked he was, he couldn't show it, otherwise his subjects and soldiers would panic.

"Ghost Zhang, why is there no warning signal for Song Jun to advance? Is it still so fast? Dong Yu was very puzzled by this, but he shouldn't ask at such a time. It's just that he doesn't have an idea about major events for the time being, so he has to divert the topic first.

"The Song army used something called a sleigh, which polished the wood and placed it on top of the ice and snow, and the horses pulled it, so the overall speed of the forbidden army was very fast." Qing Yi said, "Their forward cavalry moves even faster, and every time they sneak up on the tribal camp with lightning speed......

All the tribes believed that there would be no danger in winter, so the defense was so lax that the Song army drove straight into ......"

Dong Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, what was wrong with the various tribes and the guards of the towns on the way? It's wrong for them to think like this, but why don't they think like this?

It seems that the Song army has spent a lot of effort to make such a delicate thing, so in addition, I don't know if there are any sharp artifacts that can be put into the battlefield? As for the determination of the Song Dynasty, even if it started a war with Western Xia and Jiaozhi at the same time, it still dared to go deep into Hehuang, which is already very revealing.

The Song army had the intention of destroying the country, so there was no possibility of even signing an alliance under the city. Then there are two possibilities, either to escape, or to fight to the death.

Temporarily avoiding Li Jingcheng, this unavoidable problem is becoming more and more important.

How do you decide?

Dong Yu thought of his father, the great Zampu Jiaoluo.

That year, his father was already seriously ill, and the Western Xia minister did not hide the false Pang and constantly infested Hehuang and encroached on a lot of land. Because Zampu was seriously ill and internally unstable, he had always been more tolerant, so that the Tangut people had always been very arrogant.

At this time, a major event occurred in the Western Xia. Li Liangzuo, the young princess of Western Xia, killed the unhidden Pang and seized power.

A teenager was not worried, but he didn't expect this kid to inherit the ruthlessness of his father Li Yuanhao. As soon as he came to power, he launched a fierce attack on Hehuang. Especially when I heard that Jiao Guluo was seriously ill, the offensive was even more violent, and it was very likely that you would take advantage of your illness to kill you.

In such a critical situation, my father got up from the couch with his sick body and climbed to the top of the city with his own support. When the defenders of Qingtang City saw Zampu personally supervising the battle, their morale was greatly boosted, and the morale of the army was invigorated, and they all fought bravely, and finally repelled the onslaught of Western Xia.

However, as a result, he exhausted the last of his strength, ran out of oil, and died of illness after coming down from the city. Dong Yu remembers this incident very clearly, even at the moment of death, his father did not give up, and he had to go to the top of the city to boost morale, so what reason did he have to give up?

As soon as he left, he handed over Qingtang City to Song Jun, and Hehuang's foundation was over. How can you be worthy of your father? How can you be worthy of the people of Hehuang?

"What is the reason for fleeing before the war starts?" Dong Yu lowered his face and asked coldly.

"Zampu's identity is precious, and the safety of Tibet is tied to Zampu's body, how can he be in danger? Zampu should go to Lijing City and command the battle! ”

Dong Yu shook his head and said: "I went to Lijing City, and I am not on the front line, how can I command the battle?" Besides, is Qingtang City necessarily dangerous? Didn't Song Jun fight yet? What if it does? They will definitely break through Qingtang City? I believe that the soldiers of Tibet will hold on to the city, it is safe here! ”

Qingyi Jiegui Chapter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zampu was a wise person, and he did not disappoint.

"But, Zampu ......"

"Needless to say, if I am gone, how can I be qualified to ask the soldiers to hold the city? If I leave, won't the army be in turmoil? The land in the east has been lost so inexplicably, do you want to give Qingtang City to the Song army again? Dong Yu said firmly: "So I won't go, I want to stick to Qingtang City with the soldiers, resist the Song army, find an opportunity to counterattack, and recover the lost territory!" ”

"Zampu, but in case ......"

"Don't you even have that determination? Today, the Song army is here, and you say that Qingtang City is not safe. But if you go to Lijing City, the soldiers of the Song army will arrive again? Where should we go? Dong Yu said coldly: "From this moment on, no one is allowed to say anything about abandoning the city, everyone must work together and stick to Qingtang City." ”

"Yes!" Everyone saw that Zampu was resolute now, and even if they had some thoughts in their hearts, they couldn't say anything more. Just secretly prayed that you must hold on to the city, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!

Dong Yu condensed and said word by word: "Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter, Qingtang City will be handed over to you, the lives of Zampu and the soldiers and civilians of the city, as well as the future of my Tubo are all in your hands, do you have confidence?" ”

"The minister must do his best, be loyal to the death, and defend Qingtang City!" (To be continued.) )
