Although everyone had expected it for a long time, they couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised after listening to Yang Peng's words. Yang Jing laughed and said, "In this way, Xixia is completely finished!" Western Xia has been merged into our Yanyun! Haha, we are more powerful than Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Wu of Han! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "That's not right. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, this side was originally our territory, and even the land to the north and the Western Regions to the west were also our land, and we are still not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Taizong! ”

Yang Jing picked his head, looked dazed, and asked, "Since it is all our territory, how can it become someone else's?" Yang Peng said jokingly: "It's not the Confucian set of benevolence and morality!" Yang Jing didn't understand very well, but since the eldest brother said that it was a disaster caused by the Confucian system, wouldn't it be okay to throw away that set? As soon as he thought of this, he said: "Since Confucianism is not good, then we don't want Confucianism!" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin smiled: "Isn't the eldest brother doing this? ”

Yang Jing looked at Yang Peng stupidly and asked, "Is there one?" Why didn't I Yang Jing know? Yang Peng laughed and teased: "You black guy, you only know how to cut people to eat and drink, how can you know about other things!" Yang Jing grinned and said, "It's still the eldest brother who understands me and knows that I'm not interested in those bullshit things!" Anyway, those nerve-wracking things have big brothers, sisters-in-law, and military advisors to hurt their brains, so I won't hurt that brain, anyway, it's useless to hurt my brain! The crowd laughed.

Yang Peng thought for a while and said, "If nothing happens now, the war against Western Xia is basically over." Now we have to solve the problem with the Tibetans. Ya Yu Guanyin immediately realized Yang Peng's thoughts and asked, "Big brother wants to seize the Snow Mountain Fortress?" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said: "The Great Snow Mountain lies between the Tubo and the Hexi Corridor, and it is the throat to defend against the Tubo people from attacking the Hexi Corridor, but in the hands of the Tubo people, it is a sharp blade on our waists, and we must seize the Snow Mountain Fortress as soon as possible, otherwise the Hexi Corridor will involve us too much energy!" Ye Yu Guanyin nodded sympathetically, and said: "What the eldest brother said is very right, but it is not an easy thing to capture the Snow Mountain Fortress, for now, the strength of the Tubo people gathered in the Snow Mountain Fortress is more than 200,000, with the snow mountain natural danger, although our army's combat power is strong, it is also difficult to break through the Snow Mountain Fortress!" ”

Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look and muttered: "I have to think of a way, if I can attract all the Tubo army, then it will be easy to do!" In the field front, even if the Tibetans are twice as large as our army, our army will be able to defeat them! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin pondered: "But the Tubo people themselves know this very well, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to lure them out. ”

Yang Peng suddenly smiled and said, "This matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will consider this issue after the problem of Western Xia is completely handled." Ye Yu Guanyin nodded, remembered something, looked at Yang Peng, and said: "There are also things in the Liao Kingdom, you have to take it seriously!" Seeing Yang Peng looking at himself in surprise, he immediately understood his thoughts, glared at him, and said angrily: "Although I am a Khitan, I naturally have to think about my husband's family if I marry a chicken and a dog if I marry a dog!" Then he raised his eyebrows and said resolutely: "If a big war breaks out between Yanyun and Da Liao in the future, I will definitely help the eldest brother!" ”

Yang Peng was moved, and Yang Jing couldn't help but praise: "Sister-in-law is really a good sister-in-law!" Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Jing and asked teasingly: "According to Yang Jing's meaning, your other sisters-in-law are not good sisters-in-law?" Yang Jing was a little uh, he didn't know that Ye Yu Guanyin was joking with him, and he didn't understand why his sister-in-law said this, and said: "Other sisters-in-law are also mostly good sisters-in-law!" Then he raised his eyebrows, and said a little angrily: "That Zhao Jinxi and Yang Tong, I don't think it's a good person, I heard that every time the eldest brother goes back, they change into Fang Er's temptation eldest brother!" ”

Everyone snickered, and Yang Peng touched his nose a little embarrassed. Yang Jingwu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and continued: "They are too inconsiderate, and I don't want to think about it, the eldest brother has worked hard to come back from outside, and then with them this and that, how can the eldest brother's body stand it!" ”

Ye Yu Guanyin chuckled, Yang Peng glared and said, "Yang Jing, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Jing glared and raised his eyebrows: "Where am I talking nonsense!" What I'm saying is true! Everyone is worried that the eldest brother's sister-in-law is so beautiful and will damage the eldest brother's body, our Yanyun can't do without the eldest brother! Then he pointed to Zhan Jin Guo and said: "When I was drinking with Zhan Jin Guo, he also said that I am not the only one Yang Jing said!" ”

Zhan Jinguo didn't expect Yang Jing to shake himself out, felt a little embarrassed, and hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "Little brother did say it." Now that Yang Jing said it, the younger brother took this opportunity to talk to the eldest brother, hoping that the eldest brother could control sexual affairs as much as possible, and not to collapse his body! Yang Jing nodded vigorously and said, "That's it!" This woman is not a good thing! ”

Yang Peng knew that these brothers were for his own good, so he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and nodded: "I have written down the good words of the brothers." He turned his head and glanced at Ya Yu Guanyin beside him, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "As long as your sister-in-law doesn't come to tempt me, you will have sex once every three days at most!" Ye Yu Guanyin smiled charmingly and glanced at Yang Peng. Zhan Jinguo saw Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin's eyebrows, and quickly lowered his head, but Yang Jing still stared at the two of them with a pair of bull's eyes.

A day later, there was news from Shazhou (that is, now Dunhuang), Yang Yanzhao Yang Gui led a large army to the city, the Western Xia monarchs and ministers were desperate, took the initiative to surrender, Shazhou went down without a fight, Yang Yanzhao left Yang Gui tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to garrison Shazhou to guard the prisoners, and he himself led another 30,000 soldiers and horses to march towards the Yumen Pass, at present, there are still 10,000 remnants of the Western Xia stationed on the Yumen Pass, and the guard will be Brother Hugh.

This famous Brother Xiu previously guarded the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, but was defeated by Yang Peng, the remnants of the army were defeated and fled south, and later Xingqing Mansion was captured by the Yanyun Army, and Brother Xiu followed the Daochong to flee to Xiliang Mansion, to Xiliang Mansion, and when he arrived at Xiliang Mansion, he entrusted Brother Xiu with a heavy responsibility, but he encountered Li Dingkun's rebellion, and Brother Xiu was unable to rescue Daochong, so he could only lead the remnants of the soldiers and horses to escape from Xiliang Mansion, and fled to Yumen Pass, which was guarded by his younger brother Wei Ming. Later, he got the news that Yan Yun's army was attacking in a big way, and the counties and military divisions in the prefectures west of Xiliang Mansion fell one after another, and he was worried in his heart, and at the same time he was hesitant to decide, he wanted to do his best to support Li Dingkun and them, but he was worried that the other party would attack without saying anything when he saw him, so that not only could not save Daxia, but helped Yan Yun.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he hesitated, the country would fall at an unimaginable speed, and in the end, only he, the lone army guarding the Yumen Pass, would remain.

In the Yumen Pass, the soldiers have learned the news that Daxia has been confused, everyone is grief-stricken, everyone is frightened and helpless, and the cries sound from time to time in the Yumen Pass. In the camp, Brother Hugh was discussing with the generals. Wei Ming Tiger Xiong said loudly: "What else is there to discuss, let's mobilize all the soldiers and horses to fight with the Yanyun people, and after death, it will be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors!" ”

The generals frowned and did not speak. Wei Ming Shouzhong sighed and said, "Great Xia is dead, and all the royal family members have surrendered to Yan Yun, what's the point of us fighting hard!" ”

The famous tiger bear was furious and shouted: "You coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Wei Ming Shouzhong did not refute, sighed, looked at Brother Wei Mingxiu, and said, "Big brother, say a word!" We brothers listen to you! If you decide to fight to the death with the Yanyun people, the younger brother will live and die with you! All the generals also looked at Brother Hugh.

Brother Xiu sighed and said, "Shouzhong is right! The matter has come to this, if we have to fight hard, will we not sacrifice in vain! When the generals heard this, their faces could not hide their joy, but the face of the famous tiger and bear changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big, big brother, you, you, do you want to surrender?" Wei Ming Shouzhong said: "No matter what the eldest brother decides, we will obey the eldest brother!" The generals and several other generals nodded in agreement. The famous tiger bear frowned, looking very annoyed, but did not speak.

Brother Hugh said: "Although it is pointless to fight any longer, but then Yang Peng has ruined our country and ruined our family, how can we defect to him!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals changed, but the famous tiger bear had a look of surprise on his face, and echoed loudly: "Big brother is so right!" ”

Brother Wei Ming Hugh glanced at everyone and continued: "I have already thought about it, since Great Xia has perished, we will surrender to Great Liao!" Hmph, I have to provoke Da Liao and Yan Yun to fight to reduce the hatred in my heart a little! The generals didn't expect that Brother Wei would defect to Da Liao, and they were all very surprised, but after thinking about it, they felt that at present, in addition to taking refuge in Yan Yun and committing suicide, there is only this way to go. The Great Liao in the mouth of Brother Xiu is not the previous Great Liao, but Yelu Longqing, who defeated the Xizhou Hui and the Black Khanate, and the Khitans are really amazing, just the fleeing soldiers and civilians can actually establish a powerful Western Liao in the Western Regions.

The territory of Western Liao is very vast, the westernmost point is the east coast of the Aral Sea, this era is not called the Aral Sea, it is called the Khorezm Sea, the easternmost territory is directly to Yumen Pass, the north ends at Darinkul, that is, the Balkhash Lake in Kazakhstan now, and the Kunlun Mountains that extend to the south of the desert border with Tibet. The territorial scope basically includes all of what is now Xinjiang, as well as Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and other countries, even now it is definitely a big country, and it was definitely a powerful empire back then.

After listening to Brother Hugh's words, everyone felt that it was not bad to defect to Da Liao. Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Brother Hugh said, "Since everyone has no opinions, this matter is decided." Everyone bowed together and said, "Follow the orders of the eldest brother (the general)." Brother Hugh looked at Brother Hugh and said, "Shouzhong, you are meticulous, brave and strategic, so you will be the envoy to Daliao." "The name is loyal and bows to the promise.

Brother Hugh stood up, walked to the map shelf, ordered his soldiers to hang up the map of the Western Regions, pointed to a place called Hu Si Hu's ear, and said: "The capital of Da Liao was built on Hu Si Er's ear, which is located on the south bank of the Chui River west of Issyk-Kul Lake, thousands of miles away from Yumen Pass, and it will take a month to come and go at the earliest. However, Yan Yunjun's army may be in the city within a few days, so we don't have time to go to Hu Si's ears, we must get here first," said Brother Hugh's finger pointing to a place called Hamili. Husi's ears are located in the city of Burana in Tokmak in Chuhe Prefecture in present-day Kyrgyzstan, Issyk-Kul Lake is also in Kyrgyzstan, and Hamili is now Hami City in Xinjiang Province, and Hamili is the easternmost military state in Western Liao.

"We will first surrender to General Mills, the great general of Hamili, and he must be very happy. After the Yanyun army came to attack Yumen Pass, the Western Liao side must have thought that it was the invasion of the Yanyun army, and a big war would inevitably break out between the armies of the two sides! Speaking of this, Brother Hugh's face showed excitement. Everyone also showed a look of schadenfreude after listening to Brother Hugh's words, and really hoped that Xiliao and Yan Yun would fight immediately.

Brother Hugh said to Brother Hue, "You go to Hamili, if everything goes well, you will immediately rush to Hu Si to cut off his ears." No matter what the situation is, you have to send someone to report it as soon as possible! ”

The name is loyal and bows to the promise. On the same day, Wei Ming Shouzhong took Wei Ming Huge's official seal, letter of surrender and more than a dozen cronies and officers out of Yumen Pass and rushed towards Hamili. ……

Mills hurried out of the hall and saw a dusty party general sitting in the living room drinking tea, so he walked in. When he heard the footsteps, he hurriedly looked towards the door, only to see a majestic bearded and blue-eyed general walking in accompanied by several generals. Hurriedly stood up and bowed to Mills: "Great Xia, the famous Hugh Ge general, the commander of the great general, the famous Shouzhong to meet the general!" ”

Mills smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "Great Xia? Is there still Great Xia now? Seeing that the other party was mocking himself as soon as he came up, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, but when he thought that Great Xia had indeed perished, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and said: "The general is right, Great Xia is indeed perished!" We are lonely souls and wild ghosts, hoping to take refuge in Daliao, so that we can have a place to settle down. ”

Mills originally thought that the other party was here to borrow troops, but he didn't expect that he was here to surrender, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said secretly: Yumen Pass is the throat key to enter the Central Plains, and the strategic location is extremely important.

As soon as he thought of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said affectionately: "Since the general is willing to defect to our Da Liao, our Da Liao is naturally very welcome!" But how are you going to do it? ”

He immediately untied the burden on his back, opened it, took out the seal of the general and a handwritten letter from Hugh, held it up with both hands, and presented it to Mills.

Mills immediately stepped forward to take the general's seal and letter from one of his subordinates, and returned to deliver it to Mills. Mills picked up the big seal and looked at it, he recognized the Western Xia script, and saw that it was written 'The Seal of the General of the Great Xia Zhenguo', which was indeed the seal of the famous Brother Hugh, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then he put down the seal, picked up the letter, opened it and read it, and laughed. put down the letter and said to Wei Ming: "You are really sincere, very good!" In this case, I will immediately send 10,000 soldiers and horses to receive Yumen Pass, you can go together. ”

Wei Ming Shouzhong hurriedly said: "General, the last general wants to rush to Hu Si to meet His Majesty the Emperor immediately, and the general's soldiers and horses will take my brother's official seal and handwritten letter to take over Yumen Pass!" ”

Mills thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay, I'll send a cronie to protect the general to Hu Si's ears!" ”

He bowed down and thanked him. Later that day, Captain Shouzhong and Mills' cronies named Mordo left Hamili for Tiger's ears. At the same time, Mills ordered his general Niaz to lead 10,000 troops to Yumen Pass with the official seal and handwritten letter of Brother Hugh to receive Yumen Pass.

At about the same time, the 30,000 troops led by Yang Yanzhao had already arrived at the Yumen Pass. Yang Yanzhao knew that Brother Hugh was not an easy person, so when he arrived at Yumen Pass, he did not immediately launch an offensive, but set up camp to build siege equipment while sending scouts to comprehensively investigate the situation in and around Yumen Pass. When some friends see this, they may wonder, doesn't Yan Yunjun have powerful cannons, why do they still need to build siege equipment on the spot? Hehe, if you want to blame, you can only blame the Yanyun army for making too fast progress, Yang Yanzhao's troops have already reached Yumen Pass, but the artillery team that came out of Xingqing Mansion is probably only now in Xiliang Mansion. The ancient roads and transportation conditions were very backward, and the cannon was extremely heavy equipment, and the next rain may make the cannon fall into the mud and unable to extricate itself, so the artillery team marched very slowly, which is also a major disadvantage of the cannon!

The Yanyun army was actively preparing to attack the city, while the Xixia army on the Yumen Pass was actively preparing to defend the city, and the rolling stones, wood, and fire oil arrows were constantly transported to the city, and at the same time, Brother Hugh and other generals kept saying to the Western Xia soldiers: "Brothers, our fathers, old wives and children were all killed by the Yanyun people, and now they still don't let us go, if they want to kill them all, we have no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death with the Yanyun army!" The Western Xia soldiers didn't know the truth, and thought that their parents, wives and children were really killed by Yan Yunjun, and they couldn't help but be filled with grief and indignation, and they just wanted to fight with Yan Yunjun to break the net, so as to kill a few Yan Yunjun to avenge their relatives. The Western Xia army shared the same hatred of the enemy, and this battle was not easy to fight.

Yang Yanzhao sent an officer to persuade him to surrender, but as soon as the officer arrived at the city gate, dozens of arrows flew down from the city wall, and before the officer could speak, he was shot into a hedgehog and fell off his horse. Yang Yanzhao frowned when he saw this scene.

In the middle of the night that day, Yang Yanzhao led a team of personal soldiers to the vicinity of Yumen Pass to observe the defense of Yumen Pass, only to see that the city wall was brightly lit, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were constantly patrols patrolling back and forth on the city wall. Yang Yanzhao circled around the Yumen Pass, but he didn't find the slightest flaw, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This famous Brother Hugh really deserves to be a famous general in Western Xia!" This arrangement can be said to be unsplashed! It seems that there is no other way than to storm the way! ”

Yang Yanzhao returned to the big tent, immediately recruited the generals under his command, did not know for a while, and then lay down with his clothes. Early the next morning, all of Yanyun's 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered outside the city wall east of Yumen Pass, and lined up in battle formations to prepare for the siege of the city. On the city wall, the Western Xia soldiers were ready for battle.

Yang Yanzhao observed the situation on the head of the city, raised his right hand, and the five thousand soldiers shouted, using the tower shield as the front drive and shields to protect the top of their heads, hugging the siege equipment such as the city rushing vehicle, the ladder to climb the city, and the flying hug and so on, approaching the city wall for a long time. In fact, not all of the materials used to make these siege equipment are made locally, and the wood used is indeed made locally, but the materials that are difficult to obtain on the spot, such as metal hinges, steel nails, iron chains, etc., which are difficult to take from local materials, are brought by Yan Yunjun, and only carrying these things is lighter than carrying complete siege equipment.

Yan Yun's attacking troops slowly approached the city wall, and when they saw that they were within range of the enemy army, they saw many arrows flying down from the city, like raindrops. There was a loud crackling sound, and most of the arrows hit Yan Yunjun's shield, making a sound like a torrential rain hitting banana leaves. A few Yanyun soldiers were shot by arrows in the body, and they snorted, and the seriously injured ones were immediately rescued, and the lightly injured ones ignored the arrows and wounds on their bodies, and continued to move forward with everyone.

The Yanyun army continued to approach the city wall, and the rain of arrows falling on the city wall continued, most of which were blocked by shields, but there were also Yanyun soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground.

Yan Yunjun approached a place that was only more than thirty steps away from the city wall and stopped. Another rain of arrows passed, and they were basically on top of the shield as before. As soon as the rain of arrows passed, all the shields were immediately removed, revealing thousands of Yanyun soldiers with strong crossbows, who pulled the trigger on the city wall, only to hear a loud buzzing sound, and the dense and powerful arrow rain flew over the city wall, and many soldiers of the Western Xia army who were about to shoot were violently shot to the ground. Immediately, the other Yanyun soldiers shouted violently, pushing all kinds of siege equipment and rushing towards the city wall.

The battle began to heat up. The Western Xia soldiers desperately threw stones and sassalwoods under the city, fired arrows, and in the rumbling sound, only flesh and blood flew under the city wall, and there were constantly casualties among Yanyun soldiers; Yan Yun soldiers pushed the city car into the city gate hole, and then hit the city gate heavily, making a huge palpitating sound, one by one cloud ladders on the city, Yan Yun soldiers climbed bravely, and the strong crossbowmen climbed the arrow tower approaching the city wall, condescending to the city wall to shoot arrows, the arrows on both sides flew all over the sky, there were constantly Western Xia soldiers planted the city wall with arrows, and Yan Yun soldiers constantly fell off the arrow tower.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
