Yang Yi rode on the dark clouds and covered with snow, wearing light armor, and hanging a crescent moon sword on his waist, looking at Langshan Mountain in the south, which is a mountainous land with undulating mountains and dense jungles.

The land north of Langshan is called Guangyuan Prefecture, which is nominally the feudal state of the Great Song Dynasty and is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. However, the Great Song Dynasty has always been unable to look south, and lacked control over the various prefectures in Lingnan, and many of the prefectures like Guangyuan actually served in Jiaozhi.

The Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi oppressed these tribes extremely fiercely, such as the summer of the second year of Baoyuan (1039), Guangyuan Prefecture was forced to "offer" a piece of raw gold weighing 112 taels to Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi was insatiable, and the people of Guangyuan Prefecture were oppressed very hard.

In the first year of Qingli (1041), Nong Zhigao, the leader of the Zhuang people in Guangyuan Prefecture, established the "Great Calendar Kingdom" in Fuyou Prefecture (Jingxi County, Guangxi) to resist the oppression of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi.

At the same time, Nong Zhigao asked the Song Dynasty to be attached, in order to obtain a position to command the tribes and resist the plundering of Jiaozhi. At that time, Song Renzong was worried and refused Nong Zhigao's attachment.

Nong Zhigao then established the "Southern Heavenly Kingdom" in his hometown of Andezhou, called Emperor Renhui, and the year name Jingrui. and repelled the invasion of Cochin many times, but Cochin was much stronger after all, Nong Zhigao struggled to support, and repeatedly asked to be attached to the Song Dynasty to no avail. In April of the fourth year of Huangyou, Nong Zhigao raised troops against the Song Dynasty in a fit of anger, and in May, Yongzhou was broken, and the country was renamed Da Nanguo, and the year name was Qili, and several soldiers were defeated by the imperial court. In the first month of the following year, Nong Zhigao was defeated by Di Qing, and then went into exile in Dali, not knowing what happened.

It can be said that the Great Song Dynasty was also helpless at the beginning, Li Yuanhao in the northwest was frequently invading, and the Liao army was extorting money. The Great Song Dynasty was in a mess, if he accepted Nong Zhigao's attachment at this time, it would be tantamount to declaring war on Jiaozhi, Song Renzong did not have the courage, let alone the ability to start a war on both sides.

Standing on the ground in Guangyuan Prefecture, Yang Yi felt quite emotional in his heart, Lingnan was in the eyes of many Beijing officials. Insignificant, nothing more than a penal colony for degraded officials. Only after paying a heavy price again and again. I had to face it seriously.

Including Yang Yi himself, if it weren't for the invasion of Ruan Zhishun's 100,000 troops, he would also be staring at the current situation of the Liao State in the north. It is time to change this concept of valuing the North over the South.

In order to alleviate the pressure of logistics and supply, Yang Yi only sent 20,000 troops this time, and there were two people with him, one was naturally Nguyen Zhishun, who was the "military soul" of the Vietnamese monkey, and it was beneficial to bring such a heavyweight prisoner with him.

There was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who wore a white hood, a white cardigan, and a black collared coat. Wearing blue trousers, he has a moderate figure, clear eyebrows, and a treasure knife around his waist, which adds a bit of heroism to him.

He is Duan Heyu, the prince of Dali. That is, the original character of Duan Yu written by Jin Yong in later generations.

The Bai clan is distinguished by white clothes, and Duan Heyu is dressed as a typical Bai man, Yang Yi suddenly turned around and asked him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that Nong Zhigao fled to Dali after the defeat, I don't know if Nong Zhigao still has descendants in Dali?" ”

"This ......" Duan Heyu didn't expect Yang Yi to suddenly ask about it, and he was almost surrounded by him. Nong Zhigao is a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty, if you admit that Dali has shielded Nong Zhigao, then you still have it?

Duan Heyu hurriedly replied: "Yang University Scholar Mingjian, Nong Zhigao's statement of fleeing to Dali is really false, and Xiao Wang has never heard of this. After Nong Zhigao rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he had close contacts with Jiaozhi, and the king of Jiaozhi also sent troops to help Nong Zhigao, and after Nong Zhigao's rebellion was pacified, he was most likely to flee to Jiaozhi. ”

Yang Yi shook his head and said: "There is no wind and no waves, the people of Guangnan say that Nong Zhigao fled to Dali, as the so-called cutting grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, and this matter is also asked by His Royal Highness the Prince to help verify it." ”

"What does this mean, Scholar Yang?" Duan Heyu was still young after all, a little breathless, and his face changed color instantly. …,

"Your Royal Highness, isn't what I mean clear enough? I just hope that Dali can investigate thoroughly and see if there are any descendants of Nong Zhigao who have fallen into Dali. ”

Yang Yi subconsciously looked at him, but don't be Ling Bo Weibu, it's good for the Six-Vein Divine Sword, uh, it seems that there is still the Northern Spiritual Skill. Lao Tzu has been practicing with Qingyun Lao Tao for several years, but he hasn't seen any obvious results.

Duan Heyu tried to calm himself down, he came this time with an extremely important mission.

Twenty years ago, Yang Yizhen killed the Dali Emperor Duan Lianyi and established himself as the emperor, and Yang Yizhen controlled all the military power in western Yunnan. Gao Shengtai, who was the Marquis of Shanxi (Kunming) at the time, was ordered by his father Gao Zhilian to lead 37 troops and horses of the Wuman in eastern Yunnan to defeat Yang Yizhen and support Duan Shouhui as the Emperor of Dali.

A year later, Gao Zhisheng and Gao Shengtai forced Emperor Duan Shouhui to abdicate and become a monk, and then supported Duan Zhengming to succeed him. Gao Shengtai was made Qingping Guan (Prime Minister) and began his dictatorship.

In the first year of Zhezong Shaosheng (1094), Gao Shengtai, who had been in the autocratic power, abolished Duan Zhengming and established himself as the emperor.

Two years later, Gao Shengtai died of illness. Gao Shengtai asked his son Gao Taiming to return to the Duan family, so Gao Taiming supported Duan Zhengming's younger brother Duan Zhengchun as the emperor of Dali, but then the handle of Dali has been held in the hands of Gao, known as the lord of Gao.

Persia, Kunlun and other countries came to pay tribute, all of them first paid homage to Gao Taiming, and now the Duan clan of Dali is still the emperor of Dali in name, but in fact he is just a puppet in the hands of the Gao clan.

Now that the Song-Yue War has suddenly started, Yang Yi annihilated Ruan Zhishun's 100,000 army in one fell swoop, if nothing else, it is only a matter of time before Jiaozhi is pacified, and the influence of the Great Song Dynasty in the southwest is bound to increase a hundredfold. Duan Heyu was sent by his father Duan Zhengchun to see Yang Yi this time, hoping to befriend the Great Song Dynasty, befriend Yang Yi, and obtain the support of the Great Song Dynasty, so as to regain the military and political power of Dali.

Duan Heyu thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "Since Scholar Yang said so, Xiao Wang will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly after he goes back, if Nong Zhigao really has descendants in my Dali Kingdom, Dali will definitely give Da Song an explanation." ”

Yang Yi looked back at the 10,000 army that was resting behind him, the firemen set up nearly two hundred large iron pots, and after the firewood was burned, it released a thick cooking smoke, which permeated the surrounding camp, and he didn't look at Duan Heyu, only said lightly: "If His Royal Highness the Prince can really do this, it is the best." ”

"Scholar Yang, rest assured, Xiao Wang will do his best." As the so-called people are under this roof, they have to bow their heads, Dali Duan's is overhead by Gao's, all the military and political power is in the hands of Gao's, Duan's want to regain power, can only rely on external forces, look at the world, only the Great Song Dynasty has the ability to help Duan's.

However, all along, the Song Dynasty officials have no good impression of Dali, and historians like Song Qi agree that the death of the Tang Dynasty is really the root cause of Nanzhao, and Dali inherited the rule of Nanzhao, and Dali is not to be seen in Dali.

At the beginning of the war between Jiaozhi and Dali, Jiaozhi defeated Dali's 200,000 army, and presented 60 war horses to the Great Song Dynasty to report the victory, and the Great Song Dynasty also accepted it, and gave crowns, coins, horses and other items in return. This move by the Great Song Dynasty is tantamount to admitting the "justice" of Jiaozhi, while Dali is "unjust".

Therefore, it must not be easy for the Song court to help the Duan family regain military and political power, Duan Heyu not only brought many valuable gifts this time, but also prepared to play water and grind kung fu.

How could Yang Yi not know his thoughts, he also had a lot of intentions to bring Duan Heyu with him, this time Gao Taiming, the prime minister of Dali, sent his son Gao Ming to lead two thousand people to support Yang Yi, and it was almost there, and when the family and the Gao family got together, Yang Yi felt that there was still a lot to do, and now he deliberately mentioned Nong Zhigao's matter, but also to lay a foreshadowing for future actions.

Yang Yi was about to ask Duan Heyu if he knew Wang Yuyan, Liu Zheng hurriedly came over to him and reported: "My lord, if you can't make peace, you will try to trap the beast and fight, Li Gande recruited strong men from all over the country, raised an army of 110,000 people, and placed it on the side of Langshan, ready to fight with our army to the end, at the same time, Li Gande also spread rumors everywhere, saying that the Great Song Southern Expedition intends to annex all countries, and sent envoys to occupy the city and Zhenla countries, and is willing to return the land occupied by the countries before in exchange for the support of all countries. ”…,

Yang Yi couldn't help asking, "Is there such a thing?" What is the reaction of countries? ”

"Back to my lord, I don't know yet."

Yang Yi's face was impassive, and he thought carefully in his heart, the envoys sent by the Great Song Dynasty to Zhancheng and Zhenla lost their lives due to the wind and waves, and the willingness to communicate with the two countries was not achieved.

After all, no matter how much they fight each other, the difference in strength is not very large, and it is difficult to directly annex each other. And the Great Song Dynasty suddenly occupied Jiaozhi strongly, and in the future, they will have to directly face a giant like the Great Song Dynasty, how can they not have some fears in their hearts?

Yang Yi's current strength is actually overstretched, Liu Wu brought 10,000 horses as the vanguard to press on Langshan, he himself brought 10,000 horses to the convergence, a total of 20,000 horses, Qinzhou left more than 20,000 horses in the town, even so Yang Yi was worried that the tens of thousands of Vietnamese prisoners had any changes.

"Who is the commander of the Vietnamese army?" Yang Yi then asked.

"Lord Hui, it's Li Changjie!"

"Li Changjie?"

"Yes, my lord, it is Li Changjie, it is said that Li Qiande personally went to the Li Mansion to invite him and gave Li Changjie full powers."

Now Yang Yi doesn't dare to take it lightly, if Ruan Zhishun is the military god of the Vietnamese monkey, and Li Changjie is the master of the military god, Ruan Zhishun inherits the mantle of Li Changjie.

The 100,000 Vietnamese troops that invaded Guangnan during the reign of Emperor Shenzong were led by Li Changjie, and he was also familiar with the combat power of the Song army.

Yang Yi just didn't expect that this old immortal was eighty-one years old, and he could still lead the army to fight, and with him, the morale of the Vietnamese army must have been greatly improved, and fighting in the mountains, as long as the command was good, the 100,000 newly recruited "militiamen" should not be underestimated even if they were holding wooden sticks.

Yang Yi thought for a while and shouted: "Come on, order Liu Wu, let him be stationed on the spot, don't rush in, and wait for my Chinese army to arrive." ”

"Whoa!"

"The order went down, and the army set off immediately after dinner and rushed to Lang Son."

"Whoa!"

Liangshan! Lang Son! It seems that Lang Son is destined to become a flesh and blood slaughterhouse again!

Two hundred miles south of Lang Son is Thang Long City (Hanoi), the capital of the Li Dynasty. Thang Long City is located on the alluvial plain of the Red River Delta, surrounded by a flat area, and there is no danger to defend, and the only barrier is Lang Mountain.

With Li Changjie's military talent, it is impossible not to know the importance of Langshan, he will definitely defend Langshan, Langshan, Langshan, and see Langshan!.

(Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
