readx;
After Xiangguo Gao Taixiang killed the Mongolian envoys who persuaded him to surrender, Duan Wangye issued an edict as soon as possible, ordering Xiangguo Gao Taixiang to personally lead the army, guard Longshou Pass, and make the final decisive battle with the Mongols!
And the people of the entire Dali have mobilized, there are Bodhisattvas in the Buddha Gate with low eyebrows, there are also King Kong angry eyes, and the Dali people who eat fasting and chant Buddha in ordinary times finally show their courage and toughness hidden in their bones!
The Mongolian auxiliaries who went around to the rear to search for grain were soon intercepted and captured, and every day the Mongols were hung on the city, and the whole Dali was lit with anti-Mongolian flames, blazing, burning all over every corner of Dali!
But all the Mongolian workers who dare to persuade them to surrender will be hanged and hung on the city to show the public, and the Dali people showed shocking unity at a critical moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, personally received the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty and formally asked the Great Song Dynasty for help, allowing the Great Song army to cross the border of Dali if necessary to help them repel the Mongol invaders!
After that, Duan Xingzhi personally went out of the city and beat drums at the head of the city to bid farewell to Xiangguo Gao Taixiang and encourage the soldiers who went north to resist the enemy.
On the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, Gao Taixiang's army finally settled in Longshou Pass, and waited for the arrival of the Mongols!
Longshou Pass west by Cangshan Yunlong Peak, east of Erhai Lake, can be said to lock the mountain to control the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the whole pass is the only passage from the north in and out of Dali, is the ancient tea horse road, only about two square kilometers, but there are five city walls and five city gates around, there are all kinds of military facilities and defensive equipment in it, it is the place where the ancient soldiers must fight.
The soldiers of Longshouguan couldn't help but boost their morale when they saw Xiangguo Gao Taixiang personally leading the troops, but everyone's faces couldn't hide a sadness and heroism.
In this Mongol invasion, the general Gao He was killed in battle, and Gao Fushan, Gao Mingxiang, Gao Zhengzhi, Gao Mingsheng, Gao Zhengyun and many other members of the Gao family were killed in the battle.
It is precisely because of the people who defended the country on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives to the people with the surname Gao, that Gao Taixiang of Xiangguo had the supreme prestige, so that even if he beheaded the Mongolian envoys, the people and soldiers of Dali were still willing to follow him to Longshou Pass.
The scouts in front passed the general information back, saying that the Mongolian army passed through the steppe in the northwest of Dali, attacked in, showed weakness all the way, occupied the three branches, the general Gaotong led the Dali army, deployed on the south bank of the Jinsha River, and now the Mongolian army has not seen any abnormality, and it seems that there is no intention to raise troops to the south.
Gao Taixiang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although he had issued a decree to gather craftsmen and forgers from all over the country to obey Du Kefeng's dispatch and command to make firearms, but it still took a lot of time to cast them.
So he followed Yang Jing's advice and tightly sealed the news, at this time, the news of the beheading of the Mongolian envoy should not have been transmitted back to the Mongolian camp, so the Mongols did not launch.
Moreover, Dali has begun to sweep out the grain search team on a large scale, there is not enough grain and grass, and the Mongols do not dare to start a war without authorization, and when they wake up and want to go to war, their grain and grass will be more scarce, and the time they can hold on will be shorter.
Gao Taixiang also took the lead, after arriving at Longshou Pass, he began to be in full swing of defense, the people of all ethnic groups spontaneously participated in the defense of the city, and the recruitment of the people was also very smooth, and many people began to thicken and heighten the city wall.
Gao Taixiang even listened to Yang Jing's suggestion, and did extraordinary things during the extraordinary period, issuing a special decree that prisoners in custody could be pardoned after the war as long as they were willing to join the army, so that the size of the army was also expanded.
And Yang Jing also proposed that temples across the country select strong monks and form a monk army of thousands of people, called the "King Kong Battalion"!
Dali believes in not the Central Plains Zen Buddhism, but Tantra, biased towards Tibetan Buddhism, Zen Buddhism speaks of bitter ginseng, Tantra talks about epiphany, these monks are pious in singing the scriptures, the same practice of Tantra, monks and soldiers have been selected layer by layer, and their combat power is quite good.
And the monks and soldiers are very different from the army formed by those martial arts masters, martial arts masters are mavericks, everyone has a strong personality and opinions, and it is not easy to form a tacit cooperation.
However, monks and soldiers pay attention to the rules on weekdays, everything is bound by precepts, and the ability to obey commands and obey orders is stronger than the veterans in the army.
In order to fight against the water today, Gao Taixiang also tried his best to break the boat, and really gambled on the entire Dali country, and if he won, he will go down in history, and if he loses, he will have nothing!
The reason why Yang Jing followed Gao Taixiang to Longshou Pass was because many strategies were made under his advice, and second, he also hoped to be able to see the legendary Mongolian army, after all, the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty was the Mongols, and he also wanted to know himself and his opponent in advance, only by understanding the enemy could he defeat the enemy!
After arriving at Longshou Pass, Yang Jing climbed to the top of the city, inspected the battlefield, and finally stopped his eyes on the Yunlong Peak of Cangshan Mountain.
Although he didn't know much about the history of Dali, he still had some impressions of such a major event as the fall of Dali, and he had seen it in a booklet when he traveled to Yunnan.
He was most impressed by two battles, one was that the Mongols used sheepskin rafts to smuggle across the Jinsha River, which caught the Dali army by surprise.
The other is that the Mongols could not break through the Longshou Pass, so they had to go around from the dangerous peak of Cangshan to the back of the Longshou Pass, so as to approach the capital of Dali, the defenders of the Longshou Pass in order to save the siege, on the way back to the royal capital, were intercepted and killed by the Mongolian army, resulting in the complete burial of the war.
Moreover, there is another extremely important reason, Yang Jing has also been thinking about it, and now he is afraid that he will find the answer in Cangshan.
When Yang Jing proposed to inspect Cangshan, Gao Taixiang was not able to comprehend Yang Jing's intentions, but his general Gao Chi had a keen insight into Yang Jing's thoughts.
Under the leadership of Gao Chi, Yang Jing took his friends to climb Cangshan Mountain, and really found a shortcut that could be crossed!
"Lord Yang is really a far-sighted prophet, if the Mongols smuggle from this shortcut, I am afraid that the backyard of my Dali will catch fire, no matter how solid the Longshou Pass is, it will lose its effect!"
Yang Jing was also very glad to be able to find this way out, and responded with a smile: "The general's words are serious, this official does not have the ability to predict the future, but has been thinking about how the Mongolian grain search team bypassed the Longshou Pass and entered the hinterland of Dali, after all, the grain search team is huge, and it is not as easy to fool through as fine work..."
This is a problem that Yang Jing has been considering, the grain search team can be replenished continuously, there must be a shortcut to bypass the Longshou Pass, and it is impossible to cross the Erhai Lake, so there is only one left to climb Cangshan.
"So that's the case, the adults are really thoughtful, which is admirable!" Gao Chi praised sincerely, in fact, he is not a person who flatters him, otherwise Gao Taixiang would not have handed over the Dragon Head Pass to him and Gao Tong.
After Qualcomm moved to the south bank of the Jinsha River to set up defenses, Longshouguan was handed over to Gao Chi, and Gao Chi was also a disciple of Gao, and after the gate, his father and brother also died in the battle of Huichuan, and he hated the Mongols to the core.
At first, he saw that Gao Taixiang was polite to Yang Jing, and he needed to ask Yang Jing's opinion on many things, as if he regarded Yang Jing as a staff member or even a military advisor, and he was also a little unconvinced.
It wasn't until he heard about Yang Jing's deeds from Gao Taixiang's cronies that he changed his inner thoughts.
Since Gao Taixiang believed in Yang Jing, he must have investigated Yang Jing, and learned that Yang Jing solved the case like a god and was wise, Gao Taixiang was relieved a lot, and when he learned that Yang Jing led the recovery of Juzhou and had just suppressed the rebellion of Wei Zhenxian and the White Bull Sect, this Xiangguo admired Yang Jing even more.
Because Dali does not have too many external troubles, but there are still a lot of internal strife, in fact, if the Gao family wants to compete for the throne, it is called the biggest civil strife, and if the Gao family really wants to usurp the throne, they have to reverse the roles, be wary of the Duan family who wants to be restored, and even the Yang family who is dead but not stiff!
It is precisely because of the intricacies of the forces of the high-ranking lords and the great lords of various tribes, and the domestic situation in Dali is also grim and tight, that Yang Jing was able to quell the rebellion in Juzhou so quickly, which naturally impressed Gao Taixiang, and even regarded Yang Jing as a rare strategist!
Gao Chi heard about Yang Jing's various deeds, so he changed his opinion of Yang Jing, at first he was also keenly aware of the strategic significance of Cangshan, but it was not until he took Yang Jing and others to climb Cangshan that he discovered the strategic value here!
After crossing Cangshan, the mountain gradually slows down, and it is very labor-saving to go down the mountain, and under the mountain, you can look at the royal capital from afar, and there is no obstacle at all!
Seeing that Yang Jing was so humble, Gao Chi admired it even more, and immediately said: "Thanks to Lord Yang for helping to check and fill in the gaps, otherwise it would really cause a big disaster... A certain person will immediately return to the Xiangguo, dispatch the people, and completely block this mountain road, and will not let go of any Mongol!"
Gao Chi is also full of confidence, now that the Dragon Head Pass is solid, and this mountain road must be sealed, the Mongolians will not be able to fly over even if they have wings!
However, Yang Jing shook his head and said to Gao Chi: "General, Yang has a great merit to give to the general, I wonder if the general dares to accept it?"
Gao Chi is also a general, knowing that Yang Jing is method of agitating generals, he immediately patted his breastplate and said: "I, Gao Chi, am a disciple of the Gao family, and I see death as if I were at home this time, how could I have been afraid of half a point!"
"Okay! General Gao is arrogant, Yang admires it!"
Yang Jing praised it sincerely, and then lowered his voice and said, "Then please don't mention the matter of sealing the mountain again!"
When Gao Chi heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, if the mountain was not sealed, wouldn't the Mongols be about to steal in, could this Yang Jing have already surrendered to the Mongols, and now he is plotting against him Gao Chi, wanting to leave this road of victory for the Mongols!
Seeing that Gao Chi's face became ugly, Yang Jing no longer sold Guanzi, but said to Gao Chi: "General Gao, after you go back, you will ask Xiangguo to bring those thousands of monks and soldiers, and use these thousands of monks to guard the slope of the mountain, and when the Mongols take a shortcut, kill him by surprise!"
Gao Chi heard Yang Jing say this, and couldn't help but boil his blood!
Shine!
If the mountain is closed, the Mongols have no way out but to storm the Longshou Pass, and the pressure on the Longshou Pass will be doubled.
And if this mountain road is left, it will play the role of a division of troops, divide the Mongol army, and then break them one by one, and destroy their living forces!
If the mountain is closed, the Mongols can only retreat, but if they stay, the Mongols will continue to send reinforcements here, because in their opinion, the main force of Dali is placed in Longshou Pass!
However, the thousands of monks are dying recruits of strange soldiers, the grain search team and the fine work can not return to the Mongolian camp, they do not know the existence of this monk soldier at all, the monk soldiers are sent to garrison the mountain pass of Cangshan, is the real use of the best people, this mountain pass is the most suitable place for the monks to use!
"Lord Yang is highly talented, and he has been taught!" Gao Chi said, and hurriedly took Yang Jing and the others back to Longshou Pass and reported to Gao Taixiang.
