The Jiaozhi scouts could not immediately inform Li Rizun due to the obstruction of the three passes and one village, but the Song Dynasty scouts were able to pass the news from the front to Zheng Lang.

Just as the fleet returned to Qinzhou with the first batch of captured people and supplies, Zheng Lang was very unhappy when he heard the news ahead. In fact, there had been an arrangement for a long time, the Jiaozhi army was almost nailed to Qianlong, Jiangzhou and Taiping Sanzhai, and the army withdrew to Zhennanguan or Yongping Village, which took at least one day. This day was enough time for the scouts to send the news to Guo Kui and Yang Wenguang, and snatched the three passes and one village in front.

Yu Jing's eagerness to proclaim his skills disrupted Zheng Lang's arrangement.

The time delayed in Qiongzhou, entering the Fuliang River, Jiaozhi may not immediately send people to return the front-line troops, and there will be some disputes, and it will be a period of time, which can save at least four to five days for the front. What does four or five days mean for Zhennanguan and Yongpingzhai?

However, at this point, there is no hurry. Send a large number of scouts to observe the battle situation, and then wait, wait for the army of King Qin in Jiaozhi.

Although he was anxious, Zheng Lang still calmly ordered the soldiers to dig a trench in front of the fourth battalion, and asked the soldiers to fill in the moat to make a dam, the moat was very wide and deep, and it took several days and wasted a lot of manpower to fill in only six or seven river dams. In order to increase the width of the army's attack, moats and bridges were built on both sides of the river dam, and no moat bridges were used to attack Thang Long City.

Finally, King Qin's army made him wait.

Nearly 100 ships were sent from the south of Jiaozhi, carrying three or four thousand soldiers, to Hualu City, but they were afraid of the strength of the Song army and did not dare to advance any further.

To the west, there was another group of reinforcements driving nearly a hundred ships. Kiratsu Ferry stationed in the upper reaches of the Fura River.

From the north, a group of reinforcements came from the land, all of them were not many, only three or four thousand soldiers, most only five or six thousand soldiers, and some of the civilians who had been forcibly captured were indiscriminately replenished.

The country of Cochin is too small.

is such a small country, and it has repeatedly violated the Song Dynasty, Zheng Lang is sometimes speechless when he thinks about it.

The first to deal with it was the army in the direction of the Dunhe River.

All the large ships returned to Qinzhou. But many small and maneuverable ships remained. Even these small boats can go to sea, and they can go faster than the cochin boats. The quality also outweighs the quality of the cochin boat.

The fatal thing was that the Song Dynasty looted Hualu City and Jiaozhou City, which made the two cities completely become a ghost city, and the surrounding people fled together.

A large number of Song ships went south. The two armies fought, the Song ships were equipped with a large amount of oil, and some small trebuchets, put gunpowder, and then used rockets to set fire to the Jiaozhi ships, the weapons were more advanced than the Jiaozhi people, the number of troops was larger, the battle lasted for a while, the Jiaozhi people were defeated, and many ships were on fire. I had to jump ship and escape. The unburned boats turned around and fled, unable to escape, so they went ashore one after another and fled to the empty city of Hualu.

The idea is good, but there is a battle ahead. Later, he took the cavalry to capture Hualu City again, and when he saw the deserters coming, he took the initiative to kill the cavalry. The two sides flanked, and the reinforcements from the south were crushed. The battle cost Cochin nearly 3,000 soldiers.

Turning around again, to deal with the Jiaozhi soldiers of Ruyuedu, this battle lasted a little longer. The sacrifice was also slightly heavier, but in the end, the Cochin soldiers were defeated. Then cross the Ruyue Ferry and march north.

Set up an ambush at Doudingling, thirty miles away from Thang Long City, there were not many ambushes, only 2,000 infantry, and more than 5,000 Jiaozhi soldiers were twisted together, and Zheng Yu and Zheng Su led 2,000 cavalry to kill, only a sprint, this ragtag army was defeated.

The defeat of the reinforcements on the northern route meant that the forces of Tiandezhou (north of Doudingling) and Yong'an (Tangluzhou, southeast of Sumaoman) were empty.

With a thousand iron cavalry and three thousand soldiers, he went into battle lightly, all the way to the north, the two cities and the number of cards heard that the Song Dynasty army was coming, there were no soldiers to defend, all the officers and soldiers fled when they heard the wind, and the planting did not care about the looting, even if the looting was only two small cities, the harvest was not large, slightly replenished the supply, and hurriedly went north. After entering Yong'an Prefecture, he passed through Su Mao Prefecture, and at this time, Su Mao was against the Song Dynasty, and sent more children into that pocket. Due to the conscription of Jiaozhi, some of his children died in the Doudingling ambush and could not be stopped. Let the seed brother with reinforcements smoothly arrive at Yongping Village.

Yang Wen was overjoyed and ordered the southern city gate to be opened and the army was let in, and the soldiers were quickly led into battle.

This trip was very fruitful, and Zheng Lang tacitly ignored their excessive activities of opening small coffers, and promised to also give out abundant rewards after the battle, and the soldiers were in high spirits, and finally repelled the enemy soldiers. He began to follow the meaning of Zheng Lang and Zhang Kang, and shouted to the Jiaozhi people, mostly Su Maoman, so he told them that the army of the Song Dynasty had broken through the Chang'an Mansion of Jiaozhi, the Duhufu and several states, and defeated several Jiaozhi troops. Let these Su Maobarians take advantage of the early rebellion and surrender to the Song Dynasty, otherwise you will face the fate of extermination.

In order to convince them, they also brought several important officials of Hualu City and forcibly pulled them to the head of the walled city for them to watch.

will not surrender immediately because of this, even if they surrender, they know that there will be no good end, but the three armies will seize the momentum, and Yongping Zhai will be safe.

But the pressure on Zhennanguan has increased.

Su Maoman is a group of robbers, who have high morale if they rob it, and if they can't rob it, they will be scattered. The main force of Jiaozhi is the army, and the family members are all in the rear. Fortunately, Guo Kui received news from Zheng Lang, and the soldiers knew that if they held for a few more days, the overall situation would be settled, and Zheng Lang did a bit too much on this trip. But the soldiers liked it, and the more they captured, the greater the reward, and their morale became high, and they repelled the attacks of the Jiaozhi people again and again.

Thang Long City carried out a ferocious counterattack.

Seeing that the Song army went out with many soldiers and sniped at the reinforcements, Li Dezheng mobilized the people of the whole city to participate in the battle, and went out from the Xiangfu Gate of Dongcheng, almost as many as more than 20,000 people launched an attack on the Song army at the weakest Dongcheng Gate.

The Song army did not send soldiers to meet the battle, but only used the camp for defense.

The people attacked again and again, and were repulsed again and again, and as more and more people went out of the city to participate in the war, Zheng Lang asked the northern and southern armies to divide a group to assist the eastern city gate. The people of Jiaozhi were very brave in this attack, if it were all regular troops. It was possible to defeat the Song army at the East City Gate.

The Song army paid some sacrifices, but the people of Jiaozhi died even more.

In the end, seeing that there was no hope, Li Dezheng had no choice but to let this ragtag army withdraw to the city.

Zhang Kang and Zheng Su led the divided army to cross the Fuliang River from Douling, and at this time the Qinzhou fleet returned again.

Zheng Lang then carried out the dragon capture plan.

First, put the heads of the soldiers who had been defeated in front of each city gate, and send soldiers to shout to the top, surrender without killing, and at most take them to Lingnan to be a common man. This is a promise, and the heads of the rebels are the final end. As for what kind of people to be, Zheng Lang did not say. The tribes are also the people, the tenant farmers are the people, and the ordinary people are also the people. However, the people of the city were quite hostile. The guards of Daxing Gate at the South City Gate actually ordered the arrows to be released and shot to death the Song soldiers who were shouting.

Zheng Lang ordered a formal attack.

Zhennanguan also can't afford to delay.

A few airboats rising into the sky will not have much effect, mainly deterrent, and the important officials in Jiaozhou may know about this matter, but ordinary people may not have heard of it. The airboat circled around the Ascending Dragon, dropping all sorts of weapons without stopping.

Finally, some of the people were demoralized.

But not fatally.

Thang Long City is located in the Red River Plain, close to the sea, rich in products and thriving people. As the center of the feudal dynasty, it was very beneficial to the new dynasty to get rid of the restrictions of the old capital mountain tribe and peasant economy.

In addition, water and land transportation was very developed, and after the Li Dynasty moved the capital to Thang Long City, it soon became the largest city in Cochin.

There are pros and cons. Its foundation is not like the town of Nanguan, standing on the rocks, but standing in the plain area, which is very similar to the original Beizhou City, and the scale is also about the same.

While Zheng Lang surrounded the point to send reinforcements, he used the cover of digging trenches to repair trenches. Several tunnels were secretly dug under the river dam to the bottom of the walls of Thang Long City. It is slightly difficult, the moat bridge will work, but it is mainly used to make coordinates, the tunnel is below, the exit is in some camp tents of the Song army, the direction is unknown, you can use the wooden stakes embedded in the river dam as the correct direction coordinates, otherwise the river dam will be chiseled, the river water will be poured back, and the tunnel will be scrapped.

That's it, the two tunnels were scrapped, and more than 100 people didn't have time to evacuate from the tunnels and were drowned alive.

After digging, it can't be done, the water is so bad that you need to keep pumping. Eventually, however, four or five tunnels were dug under the city walls.

The extra-large coffin of death was carried inside.

On the ground, the Song army was preparing to attack, and the Jiaozhi people were guarding the city, and suddenly heard a few drums. Then several huge roars came from the ground, and the city wall of Shenglong collapsed in all directions, and the gaps in the two collapses were as wide as several zhang, which could not be resisted by manpower, and the Song army immediately rushed to Shenglong City.

Faced with this great change, all the soldiers and civilians in Thang Long City were dumbfounded and lost the courage to resist, and nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in full armor.

Zhang Kang led the main army straight to the palace.

In recent years, Jiaozhi invaded everywhere, south to Zhancheng, Zhenla, north to the Song Dynasty, Dali and Zhuman, and harvested a lot. If it weren't for the several catastrophic floods in the country in recent years, Cochin's finances would have been healthy. The Li Dynasty then built several luxurious palaces in Shenglong City, including the Qi Dynasty Palace, the Jixian Palace, the Jiangwu Palace, the Qigao Palace, the Qianyuan Palace, the Long'an Palace, the Longrui Palace, the Sunshine Palace, the Yueming Palace, and there is a luxurious imperial garden behind it, Cuihua Palace. The palace is surrounded by tall palace walls, and the dragon must be captured first to capture Li Dezheng. Otherwise, the palace was resisting, and the people took up arms to fight in the streets, and even if the Song army took Thang Long City, the losses would be very heavy.

A large number of soldiers flocked to the imperial city.

It was too sudden, and I didn't expect the Song Dynasty to easily blow up the city wall of Shenglong, and the Song army was pouring into the city, and Li Dezheng fled from the city to the palace with his ministers. Before the palace could organize a rebellion, the Song Dynasty had poured into the palace, Zhang Kang stopped the soldiers from looting, continued to pursue, and captured Li Dezheng and all the ministers in Cuihua Palace, as well as a large number of concubines.

As the emperor of a small country, Li Dezheng is still in charge of the government, but he likes women, and many beautiful Jiaozhi women have gathered in the harem as palace maids and concubines, and some soldiers have moved their hands and feet, so that Zhang Kang organized some law enforcement teams, strangled again, and even beheaded a disobedient barbarian.

Li Dezheng will be of great use, so we can't let him be cold-hearted.

The emperor was caught, and all the people in Thang Long City lost hope and stayed at home one by one to wail.

Zheng Lang entered the city, ordered someone to drag Li Dezheng over, and said: "Li Dezheng, it is Zheng Lang Zheng Xingzhi." ”

"I know," Li Dezheng said with a roll of his eyes and frustration. Very wise, I didn't say it.

"I'll talk to you."

"Please."

"I will continue to give you a chance, and the first one will agree to ask Your Majesty to continue to make you the envoy of the Jiaozhi Festival, but you are also another king to be called, and these over-the-top things will be demolished." Zheng Lang glanced at the splendid palace and said.

Zhou Xin shook his head, what is harmony precious? Even if it doesn't exceed the system, it will be dismantled. How much money will be paid for this demolition?

Li Dezheng thought that Zheng Lang was going to kill him, and after hearing the hope, he hurriedly said, "I agree." ”

"The second one promised you that the people of the city would not resist. I will not be like Hualu City, bring the people back to Lingnan and give you some strength to govern Jiaozhi. ”

"Thanks." Li Dezheng said with difficulty.

But he also knew that looting could not be avoided.

What Jiaozhi used to do often is now used on themselves, and Li Dezheng has mixed feelings in his heart.

"The third is the border ......"

"I agree, with Guangyuan Prefecture, Menzhou and Qiyuan Prefecture as borders."

"Do you think it's possible?" Zheng Lang sneered.

Zhang Kang laughed as well as the generals, and Li Dezheng said, "Then what does Zheng Xianggong mean?" ”

"Qiyuan Prefecture, Guangyuan Prefecture, Menzhou, Langzhou, Silang Prefecture, and Suman Prefecture will all be included in the Song Realm from today," Zheng Lang said sharply.

In fact, all of them are mountainous states, and most of them are barbarian places, which are difficult to manage. However, there are many advantages, and some hostile tribes have half of the strong men in the army. Trapped in a pocket. After this weakening, the tribes will be weakened.

However, some of these barbarians also wanted to defect to the Song Dynasty, for example, Su Maoman was the base camp of Jiaozhi, but under the oppression of some powerful tribes, some tribes defected to the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty did not want to be troubled, and sent them back, causing many barbarian tribes to eventually fall completely to Jiaozhi.

However, the attitude of the Song Dynasty towards the state was only a policy of buying security, unlike the Jiaozhi people's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and some tribes were very envious in their hearts and intended to support these tribes. The basis for governance will be generated. Besides, it's only used to continue to bond.

The second is the geographical environment, although there are many barbarians, the terrain is complex, but they are highlands, occupy these states, there will be a serious threat to Jiaozhi, condescending, you can easily send troops to attack Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi is jealous, as long as the Song Dynasty continues to develop, Jiaozhi can only be a good grandson.

Li Dezheng also knows the strategic position, but at this time, it is good not to hang his head on the city gate, what else can he do? He could only reply, "I agree." ”

"In the future, as a courtier of our dynasty, I must no longer use a single soldier to the Song realm, and I need to pay a tribute of 50,000 horses of silk every year to express my loyalty to our dynasty."

"I agree."

Even if you don't agree, it's impossible for Cochin to restore its original pomp.

"Also, immediately go to Zhennanguan to persuade your subordinates to surrender, and at the same time send your son, Li Rizun, the commander of this invasion of our dynasty, to apologize to Your Majesty."

Zheng Lang originally wanted to escort Li Dezheng to the capital in person, but after thinking about it, Li Dezheng would die in a few months because of his greed for beauty, and it was not appropriate to bring him to the capital. Therefore, it was replaced by Li Rizun.

"Then I ...... in China"

"Do you still have a country?"

"It's Cochin."

"I will leave thousands of soldiers to garrison until you have a smooth transition, and then you will have to change the name of Thang Long City, no, change the name back to Daluo City. When there is a smooth transition, when your son returns from the capital, I will let the soldiers withdraw. As long as you don't invade our Great Song Dynasty in the future, our dynasty will not station a single soldier in Jiaozhi. ”

"I agree," Li Dezheng saw hope in his eyes.

As long as the Song army withdraws, he can still be his soil emperor. Although the earth emperor at that time was far inferior to the previous real emperor.

Escorted a large group of emperors, empresses, princesses, and ministers to Zhennan Pass.

Zhennanguan also reached a critical juncture, seeing Zheng Lang with a large army, escorting the emperor of Jiaozhi, the Song army cried bitterly one by one, fought too hard, and finally won the victory.

Li Rizun was dumbfounded, his father, mother, and wife were escorted to the head of Zhennan Guancheng together, and they still spanked a fart?

And there were many barbarians in his army, and when they saw that the defeat was decided, they immediately lay down on the ground and expressed their allegiance to the Song army. In fact, since the appearance of the seed in Yongping Village, most of the barbarians have lost confidence, failed to make contributions, and are depressed. The shouting of the Song army in front of the three passes played a role at this time, whether it was really for the sake of those barbarians, and it was very doubtful to give up the three passes and one village, but the Song Dynasty's attitude towards the barbarians was far better than that of the Jiaozhi people.

It was only because the Song Dynasty was not interested and could not guarantee their safety that they defected one after another. With this idea, I saw that the emperors of Jiaozhi were all escorted over, and if Li Rizun did not surrender, they could all take up arms and turn against each other directly in order to show favor to the new master.

There was no way to fight this battle, Li Rizun hesitated for a long time, and finally ordered the three armies to lay down their arms and surrender.

At the beginning of the reorganization, a small number of people were screened out and released, but they were not released immediately, but they were escorted to the new border and planted a thorn forest more than 50 meters wide as a green mobile Great Wall.

It is not as good as the role of the city wall, but if you want to pass through this green Great Wall, you must scrap it for a long time and cut it down, and the Song Dynasty will have time to take precautions.

Only a few passages were left to set up checkpoints as border passages.

Cut first and then play, otherwise it is possible that after Li Rizun arrived in the capital, he begged for some ministers to invest in the miasma for the so-called "remote miasma land, and the court has not benefited, how can they invest in the miasma, not a single husband will be obtained, I am still Minzhi, and there are no five or six out of ten?" "I can abandon this strategic location.

All the others were sent to Guangnan East Road as a ministry, and some of the dignified status notified the major landlords and merchants that if they came to ransom people, they would pay a high price. But a few people, such as Li Changjie and Liangzhou Mujia Shaotai, were all killed.

He also used the released prisoners of war to mobilize their tribes to exterminate Langzhou Jiatong.

Only then did the soldiers escort Li Dezheng back to Thang Long City. Of course, at this time, Thang Long City became an empty city again. All valuables were looted, and some soldiers even disregarded the Buddha statues in the temples outside the city and demolished them.

Several plunders allowed the Song Dynasty to gain a large amount of wealth.

However, the sacrifices were equally heavy, with a total of more than 27,000 soldiers and civilians dying successively, including Zheng Lang's southward journey, and some soldiers were also sacrificed one after another. The barbarians south of the Twelve Villages also sacrificed six or seven thousand barbarians to join the temporary army, and more than 13,000 people were killed by Jiaozhi, which was counted, because the barbarians were not closely connected with the imperial court, and some of the people who were killed were not counted.

Although there is a lot of wealth, the post-war pensions and rewards are also a headache.

But all this has nothing to do with Zheng Lang.

When he got to the capital, he said that he had no important affairs in Liangguang, and that the rest was the development of Liangguang, even if a small number of barbarians were still dissatisfied, but under the great victory, they did not dare to move. Liangguang's henchmen had been eliminated, so he asked the imperial court to transfer him to Jinghu South Road. Another thing was said, because a large number of scouts from the spy battalion were sacrificed, and the court was asked to add another batch of scouts to enter. The rest was not said again.

The ministers in the court looked at it inexplicably, obviously Yu Jing wrote a letter a day, asking the court for urgency, how could it become a big victory in a blink of an eye? There were also some radical ministers who asked the imperial court to take the opportunity to send ministers to Thang Long City to recover Cochin.

However, Zheng Lang wrote very clearly in the memo that Jiaozhi was a small country, and the troubles of the Song Dynasty were still Western Xia and Khitan, which finally made these ministers cut off the idea of recovering Jiaozhi.

Zhao Zhen then quickly agreed to Zheng Lang's request.

Not a fear, but a protection.

The fifty-day self-defense counterattack ended, but Zheng Lang began a new journey.

But Zhao Zhen did something out of joy, and it turned out to be very embarrassing to Zheng Lang...... A Marriage ............)
