Chapter 24: Triumph
Dali country.
Stone Gate Pass.
This place became a national nature reserve in later generations, and it is still one of the barriers of Dali.
Looking at the Tibetan army in the distance, Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun's expressions were very calm.
It is not because of the weakened aura behind them, it is completely the monks of Tianlong Temple who moved out to save face, nor is it because of the thousands of soldiers who regained support for the Duan throne after Yang Yizhen's death, but because of one person.
Butcher!
If you are a husband, you can't open it!
The butcher with a giant sword in his hand, standing in front of the stone gate, had already repelled two rounds of attacks from Tibet.
Yes, he alone repelled two rounds of offensive attacks by nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tibet.
The strength of the individual is on the one hand, and the weakness of the Tibetan army on the other hand.
These eight or nine thousand troops were put together by more than a dozen tribes, large and small.
You give hundreds, I give thousands, it seems that the vast pressure is overwhelming, but in fact, it is all the bandit psychology of fighting the autumn wind, and there is no unified command and mobilization at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that between the combat strength of these rabbles and the carefully selected elite soldiers of the Bai nationality under Yang Yizhen's command before, there is still a gap between the Guangxi forbidden army that is not adaptable.
The sun is setting.
Seeing that the day is coming to an end.
The Tibetan troops who had not advanced an inch could not hold back, and under the call of the generals one by one, the army started the third charge.
The butcher also stood up.
The body began to swell.
In the blink of an eye, he was transformed into a giant again, with a giant sword in hand, spreading his legs and charging into battle.
His footsteps alone swept out the most violent hurricane, ups and downs in the roar, directly overpowering the thousands of soldiers on the other side.
When the big sword wields a magnificent frenzy, the whole battlefield enters the rhythm of one person.
Rush! Rush! Advance again! Crazy rush!
Slaughter! Slaughter! Kill again! Kill!
A lead-colored cloud moved over at some point, precipitating a dignified aura of death, and shrouded the sky above the stone gate.
"It's over."
Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun let out a breath.
"It's over."
All Dali people are relieved.
"It's over."
Huang Shang nodded slightly.
The butcher can't actually kill many enemies, and he can kill hundreds of them, which is quite remarkable.
But this was enough to completely crush the already pitiful morale of Tibet.
In less than a quarter of an hour, this group of Tubo people poured their farts and urine, threw away their armor, and dispersed directly.
At this time, the disadvantage of insufficient numbers is revealed, and the butcher can only drive away, and can no longer expand the victory.
Therefore, the giant did not end, but continued to chase forward in great strides until he entered the territory of Tibet.
On the hillside not far away, Gu Mozhi and Murong Bo appeared in different places, saluted Huang Shangyao, followed the butcher's steps, and went all the way to Tibet.
"The time that the reincarnator has stayed in this world is only three months, and this time is enough to deter some small tribes in Tibet!"
Huang Shang nodded, looked at Duan Zhengming, and then looked at Master Kurong: "The country can't be without a king for a day, civil strife in Dali will only suffer the people, I hope the Duan clan will choose the master as soon as possible!" ”
No matter how calm and atmospheric Duan Zhengming is, when he gets this hint, he can't help but show surprise in his eyes.
Originally, he was just a side branch, even if Duan Yanqing was gone, it would not be his turn.
But with the support of this Great Song Envoy, it would be very different.
Master Kurong folded his hands: "My Buddha is merciful, this time Huang Yun will help, Dali will keep it in mind, and become a national book, in order to fulfill the full courtesy!" ”
Master Kurong's intention is to raise this matter to the level of the two countries.
In this way, individuals cannot interfere with the throne of Dali.
Even if there is a suspicion of ingratitude, the eminent monk firmly believes that the change of the throne is too closely related to the Great Song Dynasty, which is not a good thing.
Huang Shang is very insightful about this kind of thinking.
Normally, it does.
But it's a pity that Ku Rong doesn't know that Huang Shang's hands are holding the national fortunes of Dali, he has already appointed Duan Zhengming, and Duan Zhengming will also do his best to maintain his interests in Dali.
As the most docile neighbor, Dali is not necessary to swallow, but it must also obediently become the transportation line of good horses.
Well, Dali horse and silver ore resources are also indispensable.
Only when these resources enter Guangxi can it develop rapidly and become the focus of the entire southwest and radiate to the surrounding areas.
This trip to Dali was full of harvest, and under the reluctant farewell of Duan Zhengping and Duan Zhengchun, Huang Shang did not rest, and returned to Guanzhai with Xiaoyaozi.
Here, Huang Shang saw You Shixiong, and also saw Wang Sunchen and the more than 500 forbidden troops under his command.
They didn't leave, and these days they have been waiting at the border for their return.
When they saw Huang Shang and Xiaoyaozi riding alone, just like when they went out of the customs that day, wearing the afterglow of the sunset, returning so leisurely, the tears of all the forbidden soldiers welled up in their eyes.
It was this man who pulled them back from the brink of death.
The head of the three yuan, Wenqu descends to earth!
Not to mention that these forbidden soldiers were in tears and crying with joy, when everyone really returned to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the people of Guangxi and the officials who got the news were boiling.
People spontaneously poured into the streets, although in this remote border, far from the level of Jinshi parade streets, but on those faces, the excitement surging out of people made people feel more fulfilled.
The demands of the people on the border are actually a victory.
Even if it is insignificant, as long as it can be proved that they are the people of the Celestial Empire, not a small people who are in danger, it is enough.
But the sad thing is that this requirement is often difficult to meet.
"Next, it's different!"
Huang Shangduan sat on his horse and looked at the Yongzhou Yamen.
A group of officials led by Yang Xinghe and Shen Qi, who had just recovered from serious injuries, looked at the hundreds of forbidden troops behind him, revealing extremely complicated expressions.
There are many people who are unbelievable, and there are many joys, after all, no one wants their people to die in a wild place, but there are also people who carefully observe those forbidden troops, and they can't wait for Huang Shang to recruit villagers from a small village, disguised as a forbidden army and pretend to be meritorious.
But when they saw Wang Sunsin, these people were disappointed.
Because this thorn, which is famous throughout the Southwest, cannot be a fake.
"Huang Yun, he is really a celestial!"
Yang Xing didn't know how to feel in his heart, with such a No. 3, they were not comfortable being No. 1 and No. 2.
Fortunately, there is good news.
In the welcoming procession, there was an ugly man who was pushed out by three beautiful maids.
Duan Yanqing.
Yang Xing was very happy that the forbidden army came back alive, but what was even happier was that the prince of Dali was rescued to the Great Song Dynasty.
This is so important, and the political goal is achieved!
With the orthodox prince of Dali, whether it is to crusade against rebellion or drive out Tibet, he will be famous.
With this great achievement, the previous defeat is nothing, anyway, once it is really decided to use troops against Dali, the imperial court will soon send troops here, and the previous losses have become a trivial matter.
As for the prince of Dali who was rescued by Huang Shang, nothing happened to them, it didn't matter.
After all, they are the chief officials, no matter how mediocre and incompetent they are, when their subordinates make meritorious contributions, they must be counted as meritorious.
It took a lot of hard work, so much effort, but part of the credit was taken by the Shangguan who was in the position of corpse meal, are you angry?
However, the next moment, Huang Shang spoke: "The traitor Yang Yizhen is dead, Tubo has also withdrawn, the civil strife in Dali has been calmed, and he will be sent to the country soon!" ”
After a pause, he called his name: "Duan Yanqing, you can go back." ”
