"How is this possible?"

The Song army was in disbelief, and they had just retreated from under Longshou Pass, and they knew very well how stubborn the resistance of the Dali defenders was.

Moreover, the defenders of Dali are far from reaching the point of exhaustion, and it is impossible to surrender.

"It's a scam!"

Yao Xiong said half-incredulously.

Zeng Bu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, after all, the two sides were fighting, and the Song army did not have an advantage, but the other party suddenly surrendered, how could he not make him doubt in his heart.

"Did you see the light descending and all the gates of the city opened in broad daylight?" Chongpu frowned.

In the past, the fraudulent surrender was a secret plot against the enemy general, and the result was calculated by the enemy general, and the Great Song side did not contact the enemy general, let alone have any secret agreement with the Dali defenders, and did not meet the conditions for fraudulent surrender at all.

Not to mention that Longshou Pass opened all the originally closed city gates, which is not in line with the signs of fraudulent surrender at all.

"Could it be that the Dali army really wants to surrender?" Yao Xiong also swayed from side to side.

Zeng Bu said with a solemn face: "Whether the Dali garrison is really surrendering or surrendering, just go and make contact, and send the order to prepare the earth-shaking thunder, even if it is a fraudulent surrender, it is necessary to blast the Longshou Pass open a road." ”

The Song army sent envoys again at the moment, as if facing a great enemy, and when he heard the reason for the surrender of Longshou Pass, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

After a long time, the Great Song envoy returned to the Song army with a complicated face.

"What do the defenders of Longshou Pass say?"

Zeng Bu couldn't wait.

The Great Song envoy smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why Longshouguan surrendered is because the Eastern Route Army of the evil doctor Fan Zheng has already broken through Dali City!" ”

"What!"

Suddenly, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but raise their voices, and their faces were shocked, this news shocked them even more than the surrender of Longshou Pass.

"This can't be? This must be the rhetoric of the dragon's head pass. Zeng Bu said with a look of disdain.

Longshouguan deceived and surrendered, but he had to make up an impossible reason, which was directly seen through by his keen eyes.

"The Eastern Route Army is a rabble, how can it break through Longwei Pass?" A Song general couldn't believe that they used the most elite troops of the Song army and the most powerful weapons to attack Longshou Pass, but they still didn't achieve an inch.

And the Longshou Pass and the Longwei Pass are as steep as ever, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng is leading a group of rabble, and it is impossible to storm the Longwei Pass.

Chong Pu and Yao Xiong glanced at each other and said: "The last general thinks that the statement that the Eastern Route Army broke through Dali City is true, but Fan Taicheng has a long-awaited saying that the golden body of the evil party is not broken, if it is not as expected, Fan Taicheng must have come up with a strange plan to break through Dali City." ”

Chong Pu and Yao Xiong were favored by the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription and believed in Fan Zheng's evil prescription.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng!"

The Song generals were silent, if the others they would definitely scoff, but in the face of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, even if it was unbelievable, they had to keep three points of faith.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was shocked: "According to the defenders of Longshou Pass, Fan Taicheng gathered elite troops to cross Cangshan, and Dali City was defenseless and broke through the West City Gate in one fell swoop. ”

"Over the mountains!"

The Song generals were dumbfounded, looking at the snow-capped Cangshan, how could this be something that manpower could overcome.

"This must be the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, not all of Cangshan is covered with snow all year round, and there will be a lot of low places." Yao Xiong was shocked and admired.

"Even if there is a low place that is possible to climb over, what about the Cangshan forest, poisonous insects are everywhere, the miasma is pervasive, killing people invisibly, even if you cross the Cangshan, there will be heavy casualties, how to have the energy to attack the defense is not inferior to the Longshou Pass Dali City." Zeng Bu still couldn't believe that the East Route Army really broke through Dali City, he imagined that the Song army crossed Cangshan Mountain to attack Dali City, and this dangerous journey alone could make the Song soldiers lose most of them, and the rest would fight with the Dali defenders, and the final result would only be nine deaths.

Chong Pu shook his head and said: "If this evil recipe is implemented by us, it will definitely be extremely risky, but Fan Taicheng's Eastern Route Army has a large number of 36 divisions in eastern Yunnan and various divisions in the southwest, these are all good hands at passing through Lin Mang, enough to resist Lin Mang's risk, and don't forget that Fan Taicheng's nickname is the evil doctor Fan Zheng." His greatest skill is that he is a healer, Fan Taicheng's medical skills, plus the familiarity with Lin Mang in the southwest, is simply a match made in heaven, enough to successfully cross Cangshan. ”

The hearts of the Song generals moved, what Chong Pu said was indeed justified, Lin Mang had a great risk of swallowing people's lives, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng's medical skills could live countless people, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng came to implement the evil prescription of crossing Cangshan, coupled with the local advantages of the southwest barbarians, this party has a great chance of success,

"And the main force that crosses Lin Mang this time must be the southwest barbarians, the number of the Song army is limited, if this side is successful, the Great Song Dynasty can conquer Dali City at the smallest cost, if this side fails, the loss of the Song army can also be accepted, and there will be a chance to storm Longwei Pass in the future, if I am Fan Taicheng, I will definitely not hesitate to use this evil party." Chong Pu exclaimed.

The Song generals nodded one after another, and at this moment they truly believed that Longshou Pass had really surrendered, because the method of climbing over Cangshan was the same as that of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Belly scheming!"

A group of Song generals involuntarily came up with a word.

At the beginning, the evil doctor Fan Zheng used the strategy of cutting the abdomen, attacking Dali all the way from the east, and took the lead in attacking the city of Dali, and now the evil doctor Fan Zheng actually used the same evil prescription twice, and once again used the strategy of cutting the abdomen to directly cross the Longshou Pass and the Longwei Pass, and directly crossed the Cangshan Mountain to break through Dali City.

Even Zeng Bu was silent, he had great contempt for Fan Zheng's group of rabble, thinking that he was the only one who wanted to break through Dali City, but who would have thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng would use a group of rabble to conquer Dali City in one fell swoop.

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty said strangely: "Duan Zhengchun sent a message to Longshouguan when the Eastern Route Army had not yet broken through the imperial city, ordering Longshouguan to surrender immediately, and asked the privy envoy to go to Dali City immediately. ”

Zeng Bu snorted coldly and said: "At the beginning, Zeng sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, but instead of appreciating it, he also wanted to kill the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The Song generals were also full of weirdness, and no one thought that they were still thinking about how to break through the Dragon Head Pass, and Dali City had already been breached.

"That's according to the will of the Privy Envoy!" Chongpu asked.

Zeng Bu said arrogantly: "The two generals Chong Pu and Yao Xiong are responsible for collecting the troops at Longshou Pass, and the other armies will go to Dali City with me." ”

"Yes!" The second general of Chongpu immediately received the order.

At the moment, the soldiers and horses were rectified, and the defenders of Longshou Pass were extremely cooperative, and soon, the banner of the city became the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Longshou Pass, which had never been breached, fell into the hands of others for the first time.

Seeing that Longshou Pass really fell into the hands of the Song army, Zeng Bu really believed that Fan Zheng really used the evil method of climbing over Cangshan to break through Dali City.

Longshou Pass is sixty miles away from the ancient city of Dali, Zeng Bu led the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, unimpeded along the way, and arrived outside the city of Dali in an hour.

The north gate of Dali has already been opened, and the sound of killing and firelight is endless, and there is even a faint sound of earth-shaking thunder.

"Evil Recipe!"

Zeng Bu's face was bitter, he used the army all his life to be upright, abide by the art of war, and follow the ancestral strategy of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was repeatedly frustrated, but who would have thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng, a layman, would be invincible with the evil side and directly conquer Dali City.

"Privy Counsellor, who should we help?" A Song general looked at each other and said.

It stands to reason that the defenders of Dali are the enemies of the Song army, and now the defenders of Dali are only left with the imperial city to defend, and the besieging side, although it is the East Route Army, and they all belong to the Song army, but it is the most barbarian, and burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, making them quite disdainful.

"Help whom? No one helps! The order went down, and the whole army entered the city to stabilize the situation in Dali City. Zeng Bu said angrily.

"Yes!"

The Song general immediately received the order and immediately led the cavalry into the city,

"Drive!"

A large number of cavalry of the Song army entered the city, and the soldiers crossed the border, but all those who encountered rebellion were suppressed together, and even the southwest departments that had contributed to the capture of Dali City were also ruthlessly suppressed.

The Southwest Yi Divisions and the Thirty-six Divisions of Eastern Yunnan suddenly dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, they followed the evil doctor Fan Zheng at the beginning, and were connived at and plundered by Fan Zheng, although they obeyed the leadership of the evil doctor Fan Zheng on the surface, they were more driven by profits, and they did not put the 30,000 elites led by Fan Zheng in their eyes.

And now Zeng Bu's strong suppression has made the southwestern departments see the strength and cruelty of the Song army.

Soon, Zeng Bu controlled the situation in the ancient city of Dali, and then led the people to the Dali Palace.

"Yang Bangyi, the deputy general of the Eastern Route Army, has seen the privy envoy!" Yang Bangyi had already received the news that Zeng Bu had entered Dali City, and when he saw Zeng Bu coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"The descendants of the Yang family? The handsome army crossed the Cangshan Mountain, broke through the city of Dali, and the first time he entered the battlefield to have today's achievements, he finally did not fall into the reputation of the Yang general! Zeng Bu nodded.

Yang Bangyi was ashamed and said: "The privy envoy has been rewarded, and the humble position is only under Fan Taicheng's account, and it is Fan Taicheng's military order that is executed, and he does not dare to take credit." ”

Yang Bangyi's words are not modest, he has gone all the way west, it can be said that he is invincible, but he clearly understands that all this is in the strategy of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, he has contributed very little, but he has received great credit.

"Where's Fan Zheng?" Zeng Bu asked.

Yang Bangyi looked at the south and said: "According to Fan Taicheng's military order, after our army crossed Cangshan, immediately attacked Dali City, Fan Taicheng is responsible for attacking Longwei Pass to contain the Dali defenders, if the surprise attack is successful, the lowly will capture Dali City, if the surprise attack fails, then immediately go south, and the inside and outside should break through Longwei Pass, and now Fan Taicheng should still be attacking Longwei Pass." ”

Yang Bangyi couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, the deputy general had already broken through the capital, and the main general was still outside the pass, this kind of war was probably unheard of.

Zeng Bu waved his hand and said, "Now that this official has arrived, you immediately lead the troops to Longwei Pass to support." ”

Yang Bangyi's heart sank, you must know that the capture of Dali City is not a breakthrough in an ordinary sense, but represents the end of the battle of Dali to destroy the country.

The East Route Army marched all the way west and swept through the hinterland of Dali, and the North Route Army benefited from the smooth progress of the East Route Army, which was able to successfully attack the city of Dali.

The reason why Dali City can be broken is because Fan Taicheng's evil party crossed Cangshan and attacked Dali City, and now Zeng Bu actually wants to drive out the army that broke through Dali City and monopolize the merit of destroying the country.

Seeing Yang Bangyi's hesitation, Zeng Bu's face changed and said, "Why, the words of this privy envoy don't work." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the reputation of the Yang family general is flourishing now, Zeng Bu would not have bothered to talk nonsense to Yang Bang at all, and even if he directly used a military order to kill him, no one would dare to say more.

"Humble ............." Yang Bangyi was in a dilemma, he naturally knew Zeng Bu's power, but this was a work to destroy the country, what it represented was not himself, but the glory of the entire Eastern Route Army, how could he give up easily.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded: "No need, Fan has already broken through the Longwei Pass and is already here!" ”

"Fan Taicheng!"

Yang Bangyi suddenly raised his head, only to see Fan Zheng leading the cavalry of the Eastern Route Army and coming on horseback.

Although the Dali royal family intends to ask the privy envoy Zeng Bu to take control of Dali City, and even sent people to meet it, in order to protect the people of Dali, but after all, Longshou Pass is 60 miles away from Dali City, and Longwei Pass is only 30 miles away from Dali City.

Fan Zheng led a group of rabble, faced the defenders who were in turmoil, and finally easily broke through Longwei Pass, and finally rushed to Dali City at a critical moment.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng!"

The men and horses of the entire Northern Route Army looked at the young evil doctor Fan Zheng with complicated faces.

The Northern Route Army was the main force of the attack, but all the limelight was stolen by a group of rabble led by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and even the most important efforts to destroy the country such as breaking Dali City were also taken away by the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Fan Zheng!"

Zeng Bu's face sank, he was not a person who was greedy for merit, but in the face of the merit of destroying the country, he couldn't help but be greedy, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to break through the Longwei Pass so quickly, so that all his plans failed.

"It's good to come, wait until the Dali Palace surrenders, and the task of your trip and mine will be completed." Zeng Bu set his sights in the direction of Dali Palace.

I saw that the closed gate of the Dali Palace slowly opened, and the civil and military officials of Dali slowly walked out under the leadership of Duan Zhengchun and presented the jade seal to the Song army.

"The criminal minister Duan Zhengchun pleads guilty to the Great Song Dynasty!" Duan Zhengchun lowered his identity with interest and said respectfully.

Zeng Bu looked around at the ministers, and couldn't help frowning: "What about Gao Shengtai and Gao Taiming's father and son?" ”

It was a group of Dali monarchs and ministers who came to surrender, but they did not find the real ruler of Dali, the father and son of the Gao family, if the father and son escaped from Dali City, I am afraid that the battle of Dali will be in vain.

Duan Zhengchun bowed his head and said: "Lord Qiyu Privy Envoy, the traitor Gao Shengtai has been ambushed, and his son Gao Taiming ............." ”

Duan Zhengchun said, and couldn't help but look up in the direction of the imperial city wall.

Everyone looked up and saw that on the imperial city, Gao Taiming was standing tall on the imperial city, wearing armor and holding a sharp blade.

"Duan Zhengchun, my Gao family did usurp the throne, I'm sorry for the Duan family, but my Gao family is worthy of Dali, the Gao family is a minister of Dali, and death is a ghost of Dali, and I will not be a Song minister in this life!"

Gao Taiming raised his arms and shouted, with a wave of the blade in his hand, he killed himself. (End of chapter)
