Fu Song

Chapter 447
Wang Zhu was wrong about Gao Yingxiang.

He believed that Gao Yingxiang would definitely order Dong Kui to stand in Weining and block the attack of the Sirius Army for him, lest Liupanshui be attacked on both sides.

In fact, after Gao Yingxiang received the information that the Bijie Song army was aggressively attacking Weining and that Weining was unstable, he immediately ordered Dong Kui to preserve his strength as much as possible under the circumstances that he could not support, and then retreated. Enter Liupanshui and join the high part.

After all, he is Gao Yingde's son, so his vision is quite good.

It would be best if Dong Kui could support him, but there are more than a dozen tribes gathered in Wei Ning, and not all of them can agree with Dong Kui.

Unable to hold on, retreating to Liupanshui, the combined strength of both sides will naturally be stronger.

If the Song army on Guizhou Road did not fight, it would be enough. If they did, they would definitely not just attack Weining.

They have always wanted to get back the Liupanshui they occupied.

This can be seen from the administrative area of ​​the entire road announced by the Guizhou Road appeasement envoy.

Liupanshui is among the six prefectures and three states on Guizhou Road.

At that time, Gao Yingde seized Liupanshui because Dali still wanted to take the initiative to attack at that time, not to mention swallowing other places on Guizhou Road, but taking the area where the Shimen Fan tribe is located, Luo Dianguo, and Luoshi Guiguo into his arms It is still possible.

In Gao Yingde's view, these places should belong to Dali.

It was just taken away by Xiao Chengqiao.

After seizing Liupanshui, Dali can take a peek at these places. As long as Xiao Cheng's governance in these places makes a slight mistake, and if there is trouble in these places, then Gao Yingxiang can take the opportunity to send troops.

In Gao Yingde's view, this is almost inevitable.

People like Luo's ghost country will inevitably be dissatisfied with being ruled by the Song people.

Therefore, Gao Yingde deployed heavy troops in Liupanshui, tens of thousands of Dali troops entrenched in Liupanshui, ready to attack at any time.

However, the facts disappointed Gao Yingde.

Xiao Cheng's governance of these places can be described as miraculous.

In a short period of time, Xiao Cheng quelled the chaotic state of these places. From the initial vigorous thunderbolt method to the final gentle policy to appease the localities, the young Xiao Cheng's sophistication on the wrist made Gao Yingde amazed .

Gao Yingxiang did not find any chance.

The only thing that could give them some comfort was Weining's Dong Kui, who finally built a barrier for Liupanshui.

After three years, Xiao Cheng's rule on Guiyang Road became more and more stable, while in Dali, the situation became more and more severe.

At the beginning, a large number of troops were transferred to Liupanshui, Huichuan Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Shicheng County and other places, trying to take advantage of the unstable state of the Song Dynasty. Local rule was greatly weakened.

How could those big domestic families who have suffered from Gao's rule for a long time miss such a good opportunity?
Tengchong Mansion, Lanxi County, Weichu Mansion and other places took advantage of the situation, and the anti-Gao family became more and more aggressive, especially the Yang family of Weichu Mansion, who was too close to the capital Shanchan Mansion, colluding with the emperor, posing the greatest threat.

There is no gap to be found on the outside, but the inside is gradually full of holes, so Gao Yingde can't help but feel anxious.

He really wanted to transfer the army from the border and kill the Yang, Wang, and Chu families, but the problem was that the army at the moment couldn't be withdrawn if he wanted to.

After a moment of hesitation, the opportunity passed.

On Guizhou Road, several groups of soldiers and horses approached the border, staring at each other.

On the adjacent Guangnan West Road, under the leadership of Wei Wu, the governor of the Song Dynasty, the Qingping Army of the Song Dynasty made no secret of its ambitions for Dali.

As long as he investigates Wei Wu's background a little, Gao Yingde knows very well that this person will desperately cooperate with all actions of Guizhou Lu Xiaocheng.

The army on the border couldn't move, and it would reveal its flaws when it moved, which would give the Song army a chance to take advantage of it.

Gao Shi has a very headache now.

They sent people to Bianliang, intending to hook up with the ministers of the Song Dynasty, and had a little entanglement with Xiao Cheng on Guizhou Road. Unexpectedly, these immoral guys took money, but they didn't do anything.

On this point, Gao Yingde was wrong about those people in Bianliang Dutang.

It's not that they don't want to take care of it, it's that they really can't.

Xiao Cheng has always been a crap about their orders.

Now Guizhou Road is still holding high the banner of the Great Song Dynasty. Every fiscal year, it can also send a symbolic tax of tens of thousands to Bianliang. They are already thankful, Amitabha.

Who dares to trouble Xiao Cheng at this time?
Doesn't this make you feel uncomfortable?
Besides, there are still some people in the capital hall who think that if Xiao Cheng can really swallow Dali, it will be another great achievement for Da Song to expand the territory.

For example, the official who is currently staying in the Long Live Palace has very complicated emotions towards Xiao Chengxian.

One is that he is very suspicious, thinking that Xiao Cheng has a rebellious bone in the back of his head, and he might follow his brother's rebellion against Da Song at some point.

On the other hand, they hope that Xiao Cheng can swallow Dali and bring Dali into the territory of Song Dynasty.

As long as Xiao Cheng does this, the great credit for this day, above the history books, will always fall above his official family.

This official of the Song Dynasty even moved the idea that as long as Xiao Cheng could always be loyal to the Song Dynasty, he would not hesitate to be crowned king.

It's just that as soon as this idea came out, it was strictly stopped by Du Tang.

In the eyes of Xia Jie and others, this head must not be opened.

In fact, for Bianliang, the situation in the southwest is now out of control.

This cannot be changed by Feng Xiaocheng as a king.

Unable to guess or see through, they can only continue to wait and see.

Of course, for Bianliang, the best result is that Xiao Cheng and Dali fight, and then fight bloody rivers, both losers, and then Bianliang will clean up the mess.

So now Liupanshui has become an important area for Dali to hold back the Song army. As long as Gao Yingxiang can persist in Liupanshui, Xiao Cheng will be intimidated and unable to do whatever he wants.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but for Dong Kui in Weining, the situation is too serious.

Dong Zhen's entire army was destroyed.

This greatly exceeded Dong Kui's expectations.

One must know that Dong Zhen led his troops to face off against the Heavenly Wolf Army under the Song Army Wang Zhu in Bijie. In the past three years, there have been many frictions, large and small, and it is not clear how much advantage the Heavenly Wolf Army has taken.

The Sirius army is very capable, but what Dong Zhen leads is also the elite force of the Shimen Fan tribe formed by the Yi Niang tribe as the core.When it comes to the level of cavalry, Dong Kui thinks he is better than the Sirius Army.In addition, in the past three years, Dong Zhen has established a defense cluster with Jinshazhai as the core on the border.

It wasn't until an officer in front fled back to Weining that Dong Kui figured out the specific situation.

The sudden mutiny of the Mang and Uzza tribes led to a series of chain reactions.

Dong Zhen's wrong judgment caused the border defense line to collapse completely.The scattered forces were defeated by Wang Zhu's concentrated force. At any point, the Song army used more to fight the few, and used cavalry to fight the steps. In a short period of time, the tens of thousands of troops on the border were completely defeated in this way. scattered.

However, after Dong Zhen fled to Maobian Village, he chose to counterattack suddenly that night. He originally wanted to catch his opponent by surprise and turn defeat into victory, but unexpectedly, the opponent had prepared a big trap waiting for him. Going in, the three thousand soldiers and horses who fled into the Maobian village did not have such good luck this time.

The whole army was destroyed.

And it is the real destruction.

Wang Zhu arranged countless inflammables in his camp. After Dong Zhen led his army into the opponent's camp, the fire suddenly ignited. Several entrances and exits were blocked by the Sirius army with bows and crossbows. They were shot at the entrance, or burned alive in the camp.

The seriously injured Dong Zhen was captured alive.

Then, Wang Zhu sent the seriously injured Dong Zhen back to Weining City.

The scene where a dying Dong Zhen was being carried back to Weining City by four captives, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, made the army's morale fluctuate in Weining City, needless to say, people panicked.

Outside the city of Weining, the scouts of the Song army kept coming and going, but the main force of the Song army never showed up, and they were still resting at a place tens of miles away from the city of Weining.

The opponent did not attack, but made the atmosphere in the city even more tense.

A big knife hanging above the head, it's the same thing when it falls down, you either die or fight, maybe there is still a way to survive.

But this kind of suspension will inevitably make many people have other thoughts.

The scouts in the city who went to inquire about the news brought back things that made the city even more unstable.

Needless to say, the scouts from the Nanguang and Mahu tribes, these spies even encountered people from the Mang tribe, the Wusa tribe, and even the people from the Atou tribe.

The three-way barbarians in Syria who originally came from the same root are now facing each other in their own circumstances.

"Big head man, let's go, give up Weining, retreat to Liupanshui, join forces with Gao Yingxiang!" Dong Zhen, who was only showing two eyes and one mouth outside, looked at Dong Kui with tears in his eyes. "We can't defend Wei Ning."

Dong Kui said annoyedly: "Why can't we keep it? In Weining City, there are still more than [-] well-trained soldiers. If you add the young and strong, there are more than [-] soldiers, and the food in the city is enough to feed for a year." For three years, we have been strengthening the city walls, what can the enemy do to us? Wang Zhu has not approached Weining so far, he is probably just trying to scare me away, so that he can occupy Weining for nothing!"

"Big head, we have enough soldiers and food, but what about people's hearts? Are people's hearts still reliable?" Dong Zhen cried: "Big head, among the five thousand soldiers and horses, those who belong to our Yi Niang tribe alone are less than There are [-] people, and the rest are coalition troops from various tribes. Their tribes live in various places outside the city! Wang Zhu is insidious, if he doesn't come to attack Weining, he is afraid he sent people to arrest these tribes The family members have gone, think about it, once the family members of these people are taken to the city, how will this battle be fought? Hurry up, before these people can react, take them to Liupanshui, where Gao Yingxiang has tens of thousands Soldiers and horses are enough to suppress these tribes!"

"When I get there, I have to rely on Gao Yingxiang for everything. Without my own territory, what right do I have to speak!"

"At least I can still live, and the Yi Niang tribe can still exist!" Dong Zhen was already very angry: "The future will be long, and the green hills will remain, so we are not afraid of running out of firewood! Our Yi Niang tribe's family members are all in the city, and the hearts of the people can be united. Boss, arrange it as soon as possible, if we let others see our thoughts, it may not be easy for us to leave."

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it again!" Dong Kui stood up, looked at Dong Zhen, and said angrily, "Why did you fall into the trap of Wang Zhu and lose? If our tens of thousands of troops are still on the front line, What can Wang Zhu do to me?"

Dong Zhen was speechless, looked at the back of Dong Kui striding away, closed his eyes, and shed tears silently.

Dong Zhen died that night.

The Tianlang army and the Skyhawk army did not rush to attack Weining. Part of the reason was that, as Dong Zhen said, they were searching for and arresting the tribesmen and family members of the Shimen tribe scattered outside Weining city.

The Skyhawk Army came so fast that less than [-]% of the tribesmen of the Shimen tribe were able to escape to Weining City after receiving the news, and the rest were all trapped by the Skyhawk Army.

However, Wang Zhu didn't mean to bring these people to Weining City to threaten them. After all, it takes energy to get these people here. As long as they keep an eye on them, and then release some real and false news, let the people in the city People's imagination is enough.

The Shimen tribe is itself a loose alliance. In the past, there was a powerful figure like Luo Piao who could knead them into a whole, but Dong Kui and Luo Piao were not on the same level.Moreover, the method of annexing various ministries when controlling Wei Ning City seemed too clumsy, so Wang Zhu only needed to wait for the changes in the city itself.

Even if no one turns against the water, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness will decrease and the willingness to resist will decrease.

Moreover, although Wang Zhu initiated the war this time, it was only an introduction to the overall situation. Everything should be carried out within the grand strategy of Xiao Cheng's destruction of Dali.

When to do it depends on the situation.

Now, Wang Zhu still has to wait for the best time.

The change in people's hearts in Weining City came as expected.

First, some scouts who went out of the city to inquire about the news never returned.

At first, the city thought that these scouts had encountered the scouts of the Song Army, and they were defeated and died in the confrontation between the two sides. Scouting was a profession with a high mortality rate.

But with the passage of time, the city gradually found something wrong.

Because every time the scouts of Yi Niang's Department went out, they could still return safely, and some scouts whose family members were in the city could also come back, and those who didn't come back were those whose family members were outside.

In other words, these people became deserters.

So the city no longer sent scouts outside Yi Niang's department to go out to inquire about the news.

But then, the scouts from Yi Niang's Department couldn't come back either. This time, they really encountered the scouts from the Song Army.

The loss of connection made the city not send scouts out of the city at all, but this also made them almost cut off the news from the outside.

The only way Wang Zhu left for Dong Kui was to retreat to the Liupanshui area.

Surrounded by three Queyi, but no one knows whether that Queyi is a way out, or a bigger trap.

On the tenth day after the outbreak of the war, even if Wang Zhu crawled like a tortoise every day, he still saw Weining City.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang once again asked Dong Kui to immediately retreat to Liupanshui to join forces with him.
