Fu Song

Chapter 467
But all the tribes that participated in the cleansing of the Gao family in the capital were undoubtedly afraid of Gao Yingxiang.

They knew very well that once Gao Yingxiang won, what awaited them would be revenge far beyond their imagination.

When I participated in this cleansing, I never imagined that it would be like this scene.

Then, completely defeating Gao Yingxiang and killing Gao Yingxiang became their best choice.

As for the future, it seems that there is no need to think too much.

At least, at that time, they can still negotiate with the Song people.

Gao Yingxiang wants to give Dali to the border town of Xiao Cheng in Da Song, so they can actually do this.

And this is why Dong Xian was able to convince everyone.

Gao Yingxiang must die.

The special envoy Dong Xian sent to Guiyang roughly explained the same meaning.

But Xiao Cheng was noncommittal.

The reason is that Xiao Cheng still needs Gao Yingxiang to clean up the powerful class in Dali for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that the elite class that still exists in Dali, basically all of them have a sworn feud with Gao Ying.

Even if it wasn't there before, it is now.

When Dong Xian was cleaning the Gao family, in order to let everyone be single-minded and stop being a mouse-headed snake-tail, it forced every family's knife to be stained with blood.

Therefore, what Gao Yingxiang could do for Xiao Cheng, Dong Xian couldn't do, and neither could the other dignitaries in Dali.

Gao Yingxiang has nothing left, so he doesn't mind sweeping away all these old dignitaries in Dali, not only fulfilling Xiao Cheng's entrustment to him, but also avenging his own family.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it? ,

After doing this, Gao Yingxiang can use the blood and bones of these guys to build his own ladder in the new dynasty.

And can people like Dong Xian take their own lives?

Of course not.

Therefore, Xiao Cheng firmly supported Gao Yingxiang.

Many Guiyang Road officials who didn't understand Xiao Cheng's thoughts were puzzled. In their view, as long as they agreed to these guys and dealt with Gao Yingxiang, Dali would be at their fingertips.

Many powerful figures in Dali have already expressed their intention to surrender.

They don't understand why the pacifier chooses the hard and the easy.

Even Luo Xin did not understand why Xiao Cheng did this until Xiao Cheng explained the whole story in detail.

This is the difference between watching one step and watching ten steps.

Most of the officials on Guiyang Road saw that the war in Dali was quickly ended with a victory, and it was enough to turn Dali into the south of the colorful clouds in Xiao Cheng's mouth.

What Xiao Cheng was thinking about was still how to turn Dali into the Yunnan Road in the shortest possible time, so that in the near future, it could become the most powerful support for him during the Northern Expedition.

This is also the gap between the vision of the superior and the ordinary person.

You can't understand the intentions of those who set up the chess pieces, but think that your own ideas are correct and smart. Those guys who control the chessboard are all bastards who sit on the chessboard. If you can sit in that position In terms of performance, these guys will definitely do better than the current ones.

Many people will think so.

Only when the tide recedes and the bottom of the water is exposed, the truth of many things will really surface.

Until this time, many people will sigh!
Oh, so it is!

amazing!
But this is a compliment only for the successful.

There are still many chess players who walk on this road but fail, but they are likely to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

Those opponents will proudly say: This is not listening to everyone, and they only want to end up as a dictator, which not only harms themselves, but also harms the country.

As for those things at the beginning, no one is willing to study carefully what will happen if they succeed.

As far as history is concerned, he always only writes big about the winners, but only briefly writes about the losers.

That's why some people say that history is a bitch who can be dressed up by others. What you see will always be the appearance after putting on makeup. As for the plain makeup, it doesn't need too many people to know.

Dong Xian didn't care that the Song army had two troops, one step at a time, and they were penetrating in a large area in Dali. Their rapid advance was about to completely cut them off from the rear.

He didn't care that the people in the country raised their flags to rebel because they couldn't survive, and the flames were everywhere, because a large number of troops were taken away. These rebels with simple weapons and even some agricultural tools and sticks easily attacked cities and looted land. , After sweeping the local area, more people rushed to the next place, and everything will be gone wherever they go.

So more people joined in.

From the villages and towns, to the county seat, then to the state and county, and finally rushed to the capital they thought was the richest.

All of these, in Dong Xian's view, are just side effects.

As long as Gao Yingxiang is killed, everything is possible to start over.

Because at that time, Xiao Cheng will have no choice but to talk to him again.

This is the only way to save yourself now.

Even if we return to the division now and retreat, the food and grass in the army will not last long. After returning, how can we unite the big guys together!

Only now use hatred and fear of Gao Yingxiang to tie everyone together firmly and make a final fight.

The trapped beast is still fighting, which is the most true portrayal of Dong Xian and others today.

But the huge combat power erupted by the trapped beast should not be underestimated.

Gao Yingxiang underestimated his opponent, so he suffered a big loss later.

When the rain fell at night, it lightened.

Dong Xian's camp was basically half flooded.

Even Gao Yingxiang's camp, which was built on an earthen platform, was muddy and difficult to move.

But in the middle of the night, the heavy rain started again.

And Dong Xian's attack was launched at this time.

The number of people is not large, only three thousand people.

Compared with the tens of thousands of troops in Dong Xian's camp, it is really not worth mentioning.

But these [-] people are the personal soldiers of the leaders of various tribes.

Even the poorest tribal leader will raise his own soldiers to be strong, equip them with the best armor and weapons, and take care of their families in every possible way.

Because of their wealth and lives, they are tightly bound to these people.

And these soldiers also know that if the leader fails, even if they don't die at the time, their lives will not be easy in the future, no one will trust them, and those who hate them will definitely take revenge at all costs. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, they will fight to the end for their leader.

Not only because of loyalty, but also for the sake of his family and his descendants.

So, they don't care about their own death.

As long as you can win.

Dong Xian, who was nearly [-] years old, went into battle in person, with white hair hanging down from under the helmet, adding more tragic color to this mortal attack.

The leaders of more than a dozen tribes gathered here also went into battle in person.

In the torrential rain, they quietly sneaked out of Gao Yingxiang's camp.

During the day, they paid the price of countless lives, and their blood stained the land red and failed to achieve their goal. At this moment, they achieved it so easily.

The fence was effortlessly pushed down hundreds of meters wide, because the heavy rain had loosened the ground, and the piles that had been rammed into the soil were no longer firm.

The camp was quiet, there were no patrolling soldiers, and even the guard post on the tower was not visible.

No one can think that the enemy can launch an attack in such a heavy rain.

But the attack suddenly launched when the rain curtain was so dense that it could not be seen three steps away.

After entering the camp, this battle came to an end that no one could have predicted.

Such a night, such a heavy rain, when the attack started, the connection between each other was cut off, and all the command systems that were agreed in advance failed.

In the entire camp, there were only the most primitive and barbaric fights.

But Dong Xian won in the end.

The impenetrable camp during the day was destroyed. About half an hour after the outbreak of the war, Gao Yingxiang, who was raided, escaped the encirclement with the desperate help of the guards and fled.

When the sky became bright, the war was declared over, and the high-ranking officials either died on the spot, fled in all directions, or surrendered with their arms raised.

Dong Xian's body was covered with blood, and he fell into the muddy water. He didn't have the strength to get up, but with the support of several guards, he managed to get up and sat on a bag of grain.

His helmet disappeared at some point, and his white hair fell down. He looked extremely embarrassed, but there was a look of extreme excitement on his face.

"Have you found the body of the high thief? Have you found it?"

"President of the country, I didn't find it. I found a seriously injured guard of the high bandit. According to that person, the high bandit broke through and left! General Bai is leading people to hunt him down now!" said a guard.

The smile on Dong Xian's face disappeared instantly.

All of this is for the purpose of killing Gao Yingxiang. If this goal cannot be achieved, then the other victories will be nothing to mention.

Because on the left and right wings, there are also the Sirius Army and the Tianwu Army of the Song Army.

Whether it is Wang Zhu or Fan Yifei, they are no easier characters to deal with than Gao Yingxiang.

As for such an attack, Dong Xian is afraid that he will never be able to organize it again!
"Chasing, send the best warriors, the best cavalry, and we must kill the high thief!" Dong Xian yelled a little out of composure.

In the camp, the cheers of the soldiers echoed everywhere.

They cheered for this big victory after a long defeat, not knowing their leader's worries at the moment.

A tactical victory cannot change their plight.

Because their main goal was not achieved.

When Gao Yingxiang fled back to Huichuan Prefecture, there were less than five hundred people around him.

The moment he returned to Huichuan Mansion, regardless of the shock of all the officials and gentry in the city, Gao Yingxiang immediately ordered the collection of all the young and middle-aged people in the city, from fourteen to sixty years old.

Fortunately, after he surrendered to the Song army, countless ordnance were transported from Jianchang Mansion and stored in Huichuan Mansion City. At this time, there was no shortage of weapons to defend the city.

The defeated soldiers were returning one after another, but Gao Yingxiang did not allow these people to enter the city.

He was very worried that these people had surrendered to Dong Xian or Dong Xian's spies were hidden inside.

He set up camp outside the city and sent weapons and food to these defeated soldiers.

In this way, it not only accommodated these rout soldiers, but also built a defensive barrier for Huichuan Prefecture City outside.

Dong Xian came very quickly, and on the third day after Gao Yingxiang fled back to Huichuan Mansion, Dong Xian's army followed closely.

Gao Yingxiang's quick response after the defeat brought the war into a stalemate again.

Huichuan Prefecture is stronger than Gao Yingxiang's camp above the border.

This time, Dong Xian really fell into a desperate situation.

But in Juzhou, Xiao Cheng who heard that Gao Yingxiang was defeated by Dong Xian's sneak attack was first startled, and then unexpectedly burst out laughing.

"Old man Dong Xian, he still has such abilities. He has to be convinced. As expected, there is nothing worthless under his reputation. It is not unreasonable for him to become Gao Yingde's strongest opponent."

"Futai, Gao Yingxiang's tens of thousands of soldiers lost more than half of them, yet you still laugh?" Luo Xin was a little out of breath.

"How about the Sirius Army?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Luo Xin was stunned.

"Where's the Tianwu Army? Skyhawk Army? Tianyi Army?" Xiao Cheng's series of rhetorical questions made Luo Xin recall.

"Gao Yingxiang's cost of negotiating terms with us in the future has been reduced by more than half. Besides, is Dong Xian's battle meaningful? Not so much! The Tianwu Army and the Sirius Army have already begun to outflank them. If he doesn't run away, You have to be surrounded in Huichuan. In a sense, Gao Yingxiang's big defeat this time can be regarded as luring the enemy to go deep. The farther Dong Xian goes, the harder the way back. .”

"Gao Yingxiang's confession report?" Luo Xin asked while pinching a letter in his hand.

"Tell him that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, defeat is not chaotic, and the response is quick. General Gao is indeed a famous general in the world. Now he only needs to stick to the city of Huichuan Prefecture. Tianlang Tianwu will come to meet him. It will not take a few days. Dong Xian has to retreat honestly!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "General Gao should prepare how to pursue him next."

"Yes, remind him, don't be tricked by Dong Xian again in the next pursuit!"

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Dong Bu's last breath was also a sigh of relief, and then he said that they were retreating, so it was a compliment to them. Dong Xian's retreat order will be sent to the dozens of Dali tribal troops in the Sichuan Mansion. Immediately they will scatter like birds and beasts."

"Out of control?" Luo Xin's eyes lit up.

"Everyone is not a fool. At this stage, everyone knows that this battle has been completely defeated. Now it depends on who runs fast and who falls behind, and will inevitably become our first target. "

Xiao Cheng said meaningfully: "Once the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead this team. So, Gao Yingxiang will not encounter any difficulties in the future."
