Fighting also began on the Yongzhou side. !Remember. The largest scale of the war was Yongzhou, where was the real main force of Jiaozhi. The smallest is Lianzhou City, which is different from Anyuan City, Lianzhou is taller and bigger, Guo Jiayi saw that the strong attack would inevitably cause heavy casualties, so he only consumed the weapons and bows and arrows of the Song army, and did not do much to attack. This measure has resulted in the fewest deaths on both sides.

But unlike the stubborn hold of the two cities, a large-scale retreat began to occur on the Yongzhou side.

Zheng Lang soon arrived in Yongzhou.

This is also the most headache area of Guangnan West Road, there are two counties, but there is a huge area of bondage, if the state of bondage includes Qiyuan Guangyuan, etc., a total of forty-four, plus eight counties, eleven bonds. The scale of this mountain is similar to that of a state, which shows its scale.

There are only 4,000 households left in Yongzhou on the household register, and it is certainly more than that, not to mention 40 million, not more than 40,000 households, and even 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, and 80,000 households are not impossible. Because the imperial court can't control it, it can't do the census. Therefore, there are only the number of households with strong jurisdiction in the vicinity of Yongzhou.

If carefully divided, it can be divided into five parts, the first part is independent and free, although in the Song Dynasty, but even the Song Dynasty does not recognize, but does not take refuge in Dali and Jiaozhi, nor rebels against the Song Dynasty, you don't come to mess with me, I won't mess with you. If there are grievances, most of them are grievances between various ministries and tribes, and they will be resolved by themselves, and the Song Dynasty has never been expected to mediate.

The second part is not loyal to that country, knowing that in the Song realm, they can be very disgusted with the Song Dynasty, and even some tribes do not listen to the persuasion of Song Dynasty officials. often invaded the Han households and familiar barbarian households adjacent to Yongzhou or other states. Now there is another group, some tribes that accompanied Nong's wisdom and rebellion, forced by the strength of the Song Dynasty. swallowed their anger, but they often missed Nong Zhigao behind their backs, and they might not have the courage to plot against the Song Dynasty. But he will have a grudge against the Han people and the Song Dynasty.

The third part was loyal to the Song Dynasty, and now it is also expanding, Nong Zhi is high in rebellion, and the barbarians in Yongzhou City cooperate, and the inside and outside should cooperate, and these barbarians who cooperate have benefited at that time. The barbarians who did not cooperate were saddened. Then the Song dynasty recaptured Yongzhou, and the Song clone severely suppressed these cooperating barbarian tribes. Nong Zhigao turned around and killed the barbarians who cooperated with the Song Dynasty again. In a word. The people of Yongzhou City seemed to have come over in hell for a while. After Di Qing took Yongzhou, he began to implement a policy of pacification. However, some barbarians who took refuge in Nong Zhigao were excluded and suppressed by the local people. It has nothing to do with Di Qing, he also took the initiative to resolve it. There are also many barbarians who are dissatisfied with Nong Zhigao, and they have been killed by Nong Zhigao. These tribes completely defected and relied on the Song Dynasty. Zheng Lang's development policy won the joy of some tribes. Originally, there were few tribes loyal to the Song Dynasty, but now they are gradually increasing.

The fourth part is Guangyuan, Qiyuan and other states. Because of the cattle-herding fetters of the Song Dynasty, and even the default of the Nong family as the emperor, and the default of Jiaozhi sending troops to suppress it, some tribes fell to Jiaozhi after Jiaozhi management.

The fifth part is the upper reaches of the Youjiang River and the Duni River. Because of its proximity to Dali, there are some tribes that originally migrated from various tribes in Dali, and they have some eyebrows with Dali. This part of the tribe is the least, but if you add the Temodao and Ziqi tribes, it will be quite a lot.

Therefore, the situation was complicated, and without the war of Jiaozhi, Zheng Lang did not dare to blindly put the Han households all over Yongzhou. The immigrants were settled, the west is not Hengshanzhai (now Tiandong), the south is not Taipingzhai (now Chongzuo), the barbarians in this area have a close relationship with the Song Dynasty before, and there are some familiar barbarians, that is, some barbarians are not interested in the Song Dynasty, but after being harmed by Nong Zhigao, the balance will eventually fall to the Song Dynasty.

In the western and southern regions, Zheng Lang did not install Han households, it was too complicated, and only some roads and checkpoints were built. The roads and checkpoints here will strengthen the remote control of the Song Dynasty, which is another reasonable!

Especially in the southern region, Nong Zhigao's base camp is not only because of Nong Zhigao's hatred of the Song Dynasty, but also because some tribes have secretly been heart-to-heart. It's okay to send the Han households over, unless the Han households exceed ten times the number of the barbarian households and have an advantage, otherwise it is not the one who arranges the emigration, but the one who sends the Han households to death. But in Zheng Lang's heart, he was more or less influenced by his previous life, and regarded Qiyuan Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture and other states as enemy people.

Zheng Lang left for Yongzhou.

Taipingzhai sent troops ahead of schedule.

The second battle was not in the Song realm, but in the territory of Jiaozhi.

It was an ambush battle, which was later converted into a holding war.

Jiaozhi attacked the Song Dynasty from the land, there were two roads, the first road was along the coastal area, from Sumao Prefecture through Ruxi Village, where Jiaozhi has a foundation.

Because Jiaozhi has always been unfamiliar with Lingnan, the Song Dynasty did not pass through the city, and only set up some mutual markets at the border. Qinlian two states have, Lianzhou water evil is difficult to do, but Lianzhou city is conducive to defense, so the Song Dynasty forced Jiaozhi merchants to go to Lianzhou, abandon Qinzhou, and set up problems in Qinzhou, go to Qinzhou to exchange markets, can only be in Ruhongzhai, that is, Zheng Lang as the second southern Qinzhou to take in the people's village. It is the three major military villages along the coast of Qinzhou, and the terrain is treacherous, which is conducive to controlling the choke. However, as a place for mutual markets, it is obviously not good.

Subsequently, Liu E took power, in order to alleviate the contradictions of the surrounding countries, at the request of the Jiaozhi people, Anyuan City was released as a port for mutual markets, and the Lianzhou mutual markets gradually became unattractive, and the mutual markets were mostly transferred to Anyuan City. Later, he faintly felt that Jiaozhi was hostile, and he was afraid of the pressure of Western Xia, so he had to continue to get by with Jiaozhi.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was right to limit the mutual market to Ruhongzhai, and the Song Dynasty did not need the trade of Jiaozhi to stimulate the development of Lingnan. And the merchants who came to trade in Jiaozhi were mostly mixed with scouts. For example, during the Taiping Rejuvenation period, the Song Dynasty was ready to take Jiaozhi by surprise, but in fact, the idea just came out, and Li Huan received the news and took the opportunity to add a yellow robe. If there was no Zheng Lang, after Li Zhongshi served in Guangxi, he was worried about the barbarian Jia entering, and he arrived in Qinlian Erzhou, suspecting that he was treacherous.

This is also the reason why Zheng Lang did not inform Yu Jing of all his plans.

Knowing that Jiaozhi invaded Qinlian Erzhou, he asked Zhou Xin and Zhu Shoulong to mobilize the people to participate in the war, and did not hide troops in advance, let alone dig the moat of Anyuan City to dig deep.

I am more familiar with this road and have invaded here before. Although the terrain is familiar, because of the serious injury to the local barbarians, the barbarians hate Jiaozhi. Unlike Qiyuan Prefecture and Menzhou, it has a very good "mass base". Although Zheng Lang did not move the Han households here, because Jiaozhi had invaded from this road. Therefore, the old village will be re-solidified, and the wall will be heightened and thickened, which is more difficult to attack than before. Besides, more than 10,000 troops have been dispatched, which is enough to deal with the two states.

Therefore, this road will not be chosen.

The second road is the mountain road from Langshan, directly into Qiyuan Prefecture, will not go from Guangyuan Prefecture, that is, Nong Zhigao's strength is too weak, and the base camp is in Guangyuan Prefecture. was forced to be helpless, from Guangyuan Prefecture to Hengshanzhai, and then from Hengshanzhai to Yongzhou City, it was too far.

But Jiaozhi never expected that Song Jun would actually snipe first.

Four thousand horsemen finally appeared.

It seems that intentionally or unintentionally, Guo Kui led 4,000 cavalry to practice to Taipingzhai.

For the Cochins, of course. These 4,000 pseudo-cavalry are nothing.

Just as Jiaozhi was attacking Qinzhou, Guo Kui, Yang Wenguang, Chong Ge and Zheng Huang and other generals led 4,000 cavalry to quickly move south.

Jiaozhi also attached great importance to intelligence work, no less than the Western Xia people, and even after invading Yongzhou in history, he once killed all the monks and Taoists. Send scouts to pretend to be monks and Taoists to spy on the news. Fortunately, Su Mian behaved very heroically that time, otherwise Guangnan West Road would be more harmful. The defense of Yongzhou chilled the Jiaozhi people.

Seeing that Guo Kui suddenly led 4,000 troops south, some spies secretly arranged in the Song Realm were inexplicable. By the time they reacted, the Song army was marching fast, and even prepared more than a thousand pack horses to carry the goods to increase their speed. In addition, a road was built in Yongzhou to reach Guangyuan Prefecture, so the speed at which they sent the news back was not as fast as the Song army's southward movement.

Rushing to Guangyuan Prefecture, when the leaders of the mountains were feeling uneasy, Guo Kui continued to move south, crossed the Pengjiang River, and directly entered the territory of Jiaozhi. In fact, it is still the Song realm, but since the defeat of Nong Zhigao, the two sides consciously take the Pengjiang River as the border, so the last time Wu Er was the envoy, it was this border that was requested. It can't be completely said that they are unreasonable, Guangyuan Prefecture has been very chaotic since the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and after the elimination of the Southern Han Dynasty, Nong Minfu was elected as the leader of Guangyuan, Wule and other ten states, and asked the Song Dynasty to attach it. Because Silang Prefecture is separated, the leader of Guangyuan Prefecture is invited to write a book. Until then, these states were independent. This is also the reason why after the Nong father and son became emperors, the Song Dynasty didn't care. It's your place, and it's still given back to you, and we don't want this cheap in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Nong family has a certain degree of sovereignty. But if that's the case, can Nong Zhigao represent the will of all the barbarians living here?

After the destruction of Nong Zhigao, Nong Zongdan formed a group of people in Beyang Pass (general name for thunder, fire, Ji, Cheng, Wen Shu, Pin, Po, and Gong Zhutong, across both sides of the Jingxi border between China and Vietnam, and was mostly in Vietnam), and Nong Zhi would form a group of people in Beyang Pass (southwest of Jingxi, north of Beixidong to protect themselves).

But after destroying Nong Zhigao, Di Qing did not kill the Nong clan, although the movement was unknown, seeing that they did not have too much antipathy, so he let it go. However, on the north bank of the Pengjiang River, the Song Dynasty still had a slight influence, and after the Pengjiang River, the Song Dynasty's control ability was weaker and almost completely disappeared.

But there is a road, and it is still a good road.

The Song Dynasty had some ambitions for Jiaozhi, and it was inevitable, Jiaozhi has been China's territory since ancient times, directly under the territory, but it was forced by the Western Xia and Khitan, and could not afford to distract the south, so it did not want to make trouble, and there were border conflicts to take the approach of calming things down.

Therefore, most of the mutual markets were moved to the two prefectures of Qinlian and taken from the sea, and the danger was not great, after all, at this time, it was difficult to send more than 50,000 troops to invade the two prefectures of Qinlian with the ships of the Jiaozhi people.

However, because it was China's territory in the past, commodities from Sichuan and other places were transported by land, passing through Guangyuan Prefecture to all parts of Jiaozhi, and some valuable spices and other items were transported from Jiaozhi to various places in the southwest. Although the Song Dynasty sat back and watched the Nong family father and son toss and proclaimed themselves emperors, in the end they simply closed their eyes and locked up the mutual market together, so that the Nong family and his son could close the door and have fun by themselves. In fact, this road was not completely closed, and smuggling was serious, and most of the Yongzhou officials in the Song Dynasty turned a blind eye to this phenomenon in order to seek peace.

It is this situation that has boosted Nong Zhigao's ambition and also boosted Jiaozhi's ambition. ‘

After Guangyuan Prefecture and a wide avenue, Guo Kui continued to march forward rapidly.

The speed was unimaginable, and the next day it crossed the Pengjiang River, so that a garrison in Jiaozhi on the south bank of the Pengjiang River had not yet noticed it, so Guo Kui led the army to arrive and give a thunderous blow. But this time, it was not Song Jun who made the first move, but Jiaozhi who made the first move. According to Zheng Lang's words, it was a self-defense counterattack.

Of the 500 Jiaozhi garrisons, only a few saw the Song army menacing. escaped in time, and the rest were all beheaded by Guo Kui's subordinates. Not a single prisoner was taken.

Not cruelty, but strategic necessity.

It was not Guo Kui's intention to come to Guangyuan Prefecture. The real intention is Qiyuan State.

It is very close from Taipingzhai to Qiyuanzhou, but Guo Kui deliberately went around in a big circle, deliberately confusing the Jiaozhi people. After defeating the Jiaozhi garrison of Pengjiang. Only then did he suddenly go east, and in the evening of the next day, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, he came to Pingxiangtong. There is a very close road from Taipingzhai to Pingxiangtong, but in that case, the enemy will immediately guess Guo Kui's intentions. Although there were several avenues on the border between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi, the terrain was mountainous and the number of avenues was limited. Therefore, it had to go around to Guangyuan Prefecture.

I traveled a lot in two days. When you arrive at Pingxiangtong, stop and rest.

The local barbarians were inexplicable, thinking that the Song army was coming to deal with him. The news that the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi had gone to war had not yet reached their ears, and they waited for most of the day before they sent a few representatives to ask for peace.

Guo Kui comforted with kind words, affirming that this was just a training session and had no other intentions. Put them at ease. Sent back, only then did he meet another person, Jiaozhi sent spies to infiltrate the Song Dynasty, but Zheng Lang arranged earlier, and had already let some scouts from the spy battalion in the name of merchants. Dive into Cochin. He was met by a scout from the Special Services Battalion.

Listening to the scout's report, Guo Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

This plan has nothing to do with him, it was all formulated by Zhang Kang and Zheng Lang, and he was only ordered to reorganize the army in Taipingzhai. It seems to be another reasonable arrangement, and when it is time to plant, many Han households north of Taipingzhai have begun spring ploughing and production. Therefore, they stayed in Taipingzhai and had a deterrent effect.

Although Guo Kui faintly felt that something was wrong, he just didn't expect it. Until the morning before yesterday, I received Zhang Kang's order, as well as the plan. Then hurriedly marched. Even Guo Kui deceived the past, and he was a handful of people.

On the morning of the third day, it was the sixth day of the invasion of Qinzhou by Cochin.

Guo Kui led the army south again, but it was divided into two groups, the first batch was only 500 horsemen, and 3,500 horsemen rode after the palace, and rushed straight to the pass. The pass is not far from the southernmost tip of Qiyuan Prefecture, but it is located in Langzhou. Strictly speaking, it belongs entirely to the territory of Cochin. Not far from Pingxiang Pass, this is a very important pass.

From the Fuchunjiang area, there is a road leading directly to Pingxiangtong, from Pingxiangtong can directly attack Taipingzhai, from Taipingzhai can directly attack Yongzhou, even if you walk, it does not take a day to reach Pingxiangtong.

Here, from Qiyuan Prefecture to Menzhou in the east, and then to Guangyuan Prefecture in the west, there are many tribes who have a favorable impression of Jiaozhi. Cochin invasion has a certain "mass base".

Therefore, the army of Cochin from the land was preparing to march from this avenue to Quang Nam West Road. It has not yet reached the decisive pass, and there is more than a day to go.

If you want to make miraculous achievements, you must take down the decisive pass within one day.

Because of the imminent invasion, 3,000 Jiaozhi soldiers were stationed in advance at the Duli Pass.

Moreover, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Guo Kui's entourage brought some heavy materials and weapons on pack horses, but for the sake of speed, he didn't bring a decent siege equipment. If you want to take it down in one day, it is very difficult.

Personally led the team, and 500 cavalry came to the pass first.

When I arrived at the pass, I saw that there were mountains on both sides, and the trees were dense, and the mountain wind was blowing. Jiaozhi is on a high place, and a level is set up. This is where Guo Kui wants to take it.

Guo Kui came to the checkpoint with a big grin and began to let a soldier who knew the local dialect scold. And he took out a menstrual belt of a woman who he got out of nowhere, and took out a large banner with a big plum character on it, and hung the menstrual belt.

The guards on the checkpoint are still inexplicable, where did this Song army come from?

Besides, there are only 500 people, what are they going to do?

Suddenly, I saw this menstrual belt on the plum character.

Not only was he angry, but his subordinates made noise together. It has never been at war with the Song army, the two battles of the Baiteng River, the Southern Han was defeated, and the defeat of the Song army was due to Li Huan's fraudulent surrender and Hou Renbao's plan, which failed. But under the cover of the Li Dynasty, this history became unrecognizable as early as Cochin.

Coupled with the weak policy of the Song Dynasty, the current Jiaozhi military and civilians have always believed that the Chinese are not strong in combat.

Zheng Lang has always wondered why Jiaozhi is so bold, is it really weak, but he doesn't know what Bai Tengjiang's two battles have changed to Jiaozhi. Therefore, although the Li Dynasty was ambitious, it was still cautious, and when it came to the point that the Li Dynasty remembered only a falsified and erroneous history, it became more and more emboldened.

Including the mobilization of Jiaozhi this time, he also ridiculed the incompetence of the Song Dynasty army many times, first defeated by the Khitan, formed an alliance under the city, and then trapped in the small Western Xia, so that a small tribe in the desert can easily grow.

With this idea of underestimating the enemy, the Jiaozhi people opened the door and resolutely responded to the battle. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
