In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 278 To deal with these barbarians, only those who are more barbaric than them
There was no way, Genghis Khan's army had just destroyed Xixia, and the front had already reached the other side of the Yellow River in Diezhou. Of course, Zhao Agechang did not dare to make a bet easily at this time.

And providing war horses to the Song people, wouldn't it strengthen the strength of the Song people?

Zhao Agechang is the closest to the Song people (there used to be Xixia in between), and he definitely doesn't want the Song people to grow too.

At that time, Zhao Agechang found an excuse to send Meng Ying's envoy away. He said that although each tribe in Tibet had its own sect, in fact everyone respected Gong Gyaltsen. Now all temples in all directions will obey the great master in charge of Sakya Monastery. For Gyaltsen’s guidance, why don’t you ask Gyaltsen.

Meng Ying immediately heard that Zhao Agechang had found an excuse to reject her.

One time, Meng Ying delivered the goods in person and was warmly received by Zhao Agechang. When the two of them were drinking to their heart's content, Meng Ying took advantage of the wine and said that the country of the Song Dynasty was very corrupt, and military expenses and soldiers were being deducted everywhere. People are still aggressive and want us to pay the new year's money again. This life is not easy to live in. If I can't survive in the future, brother, I might as well go to the grassland.

Zhao Agechang laughed at the time and said, brother, don't panic, if the Mongols really want to call, we will be fine if we surrender together, we will definitely save our wealth and lives.

Since then, Meng Ying knew that it was almost impossible to get support for an alliance with these Tubo nobles.

They just need to keep their status as slave owners.

So this time, Meng Ying used the big deal as an excuse. It is said that she brought hundreds of thousands of white sugar and other sugar cane seedlings, and she wanted to teach them how to plant them locally. Later, they will make sugar in Diezhou to expand production.

Zhao Agechang was even more ecstatic and said on the spot that he and Meng Ying would become foreign brothers. Meng Ying did not refuse, and the two of them married Jinlan on the bank of the Yellow River in accordance with the Tubo people's gift.

Thinking of the large amount of sugar and refined salt that was coming soon, Zhao Agechang thought for a moment and gave the order.

"Let Eger prepare [-] horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep first."

"Well, choose a hundred—no——fifty excellent war horses, and I will give them to my good brother, General Meng."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the subordinates turned around and went out to prepare.

This was the first time that Zhao Agechang offered to bring out fifty war horses. He seemed to be very satisfied with the goods and wanted to thank Meng Ying properly.

It was probably difficult for Song people to drive their carriages, so they didn’t go to Diezhou that day.

In the early morning of the 29th, just after dawn, groups of sentry riders left Diezhou City and began their daily routine patrols.

Zhao Agechang's sentry cavalry were mainly placed on the south bank of the Yellow River, and some even went around to the north bank, but it took a long way to go around, and he couldn't come back that day.

The main purpose was to guard against the Mongols on the north bank of the Yellow River. Because the Mongols liked to massacre cities, Zhao Agechang was still afraid of the Mongols raiding him.

This wave of sentries left for about half an hour, and a group of cavalry appeared on the distant horizon, followed by a large number of carriages.

Someone immediately went to inform Zhao Agechang at the top of the city.

When Zhao Agechang arrived, Meng Ying and the carriage on the opposite side were within five hundred steps.

Zhao Agechang asked people to prepare wine and meat to entertain Meng Ying well, and then led a group of cavalry to rush out of the city to greet Meng Ying.

He had never come out of the city to greet him in person before, but after doing business with Song people for more than two years and becoming brothers with Meng Ying, Brother Zhao Achang now valued this big deal.

The two met about two hundred steps outside the city and jumped off their horses.

Zhao Agechang gave Meng Ying a heavy hug: "My good brother, welcome to Diecheng again."

After saying that, he looked greedily at the large number of carriages behind Meng Ying. These white sugar, refined salt and tea leaves would turn into countless cattle, horses, sheep, beauties, and even gold and silver jewelry in his hands. He could make a lot of money by changing hands. .

This is really my god of wealth.

Meng Ying laughed loudly, looked up and looked around.

He brought over 100 cavalry himself, and Brother Zhao Changcai brought more than [-] cavalry out of the city.

The two walked forward side by side, followed by large groups of cavalry on both sides.

Meng Ying walked and said: "From the perspective of eldest brother, who will own this world from now on?"

Zhao Agechang did not expect Meng Ying to ask this question suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation: "Mongolians."

"No one is the opponent of the Mongols now. They are invincible wherever they go. I heard news from the west that the Mongols marched westward and destroyed countless countries. I don't know how many opponents they slaughtered."

Speaking of this, Zhao Agechang also showed fear on his face: "I'm afraid it won't be long before the Mongolian army will come to us."

"Brother, would you like to fight the Mongols?" Meng Ying asked suddenly.

"?" Zhao Agechang was stunned, what a joke, I am a landlord and aristocrat well, so why seek my own death.

"The Mongols are our enemies in the Song Dynasty." Meng Ying's face became serious and she said solemnly: "The friends of our enemies are our enemies, and the enemies of our enemies are our friends."

"Will eldest brother start a war with me, the Song Dynasty?"

"..." Zhao Agechang didn't know why Meng Ying suddenly said that. He looked at Meng Ying dumbfounded.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he saw behind Meng Ying, on the farther horizon, a wave of fine riders running crazily forward.

Those were his sentry riders. It seemed like something terrible was happening behind him. The sentry riders were running towards this side like crazy.

Seeing Zhao Agechang leading his men near Meng Ying, the leading sentry rider waved his whip and roared at them, as if he was saying something.

For a moment, Brother Zhao didn't even think about what Meng Ying had just said, and looked intently at the sentry rider in the distance.

After a moment he was startled.

The sentry rider signaled to the people here: "There is a large group of cavalry coming from behind."

Enemy attack?The news just flashed through Zhao Agechang's mind.

"Puchi puchi"

There was a sudden sound of arrows and crossbows at the scene.

The Song people who were pulling the carriage took out their crossbows and fired fiercely at his cavalry at close range.

Someone on the cavalry behind Meng Ying raised his bow and pulled it at his cavalry. Then he threw away the bow and drew his sword.

"Ah——" The scene was filled with screams and curses.

Zhao Agechang's tribesmen fell from power one after another.

"Meng Ying--" Zhao Agechang realized that the Song people were attacking them.Without waiting for his voice to come out.

Pu Chi, first an arrow hit the left calf, then Pu Chi, another arrow hit the right calf.

Zhao Agechang fell to his knees in pain. As soon as his hands touched the ground, two sergeants came out from behind Meng Ying and lifted him up again.

Zhao Agechang, who was frightened and frightened, raised his head and saw screams all around, his tribesmen fell off their horses one after another, and the Song army was killing them crazily and mercilessly.

At the same time, two groups of cavalry were separated, and one group faced the sentinels running in the distance.

Another group of cavalry, about a hundred cavalry, rushed directly to the city gate.

At this time, they were less than two hundred steps away from the city gate. People were coming in and out of the city. If the defenders inside the city didn't react in time, they would definitely not have time to close the door.

He roared at Meng Ying in disbelief: "Why, why do you have to do this?"

He couldn't believe that Meng Ying would attack his Diezhou City. There would be no use for the Song people to get this city.

It is even more impossible to rule his people.

"We swore an oath to the water of the Yellow River and became brothers."

"This is what you, a country of Han etiquette, do, Meng Ying, you are so shameless - bah - I am so blind -"

Zhao Agechang didn't expect that he would be wrong. Meng Ying seemed to be quite honest, but she stabbed him in the back.

Meng Ying did not explain, and there was no need.

Emperor Zhao Yurui said in front of him that if it was for the benefit of the Song Dynasty and the people of the Song Dynasty, no matter what bad things he did, the emperor thought it was right.

He still remembers the last words Emperor Zhao Yurui said as he patted him on the shoulder when he left the palace that day.

"Meng Ying, you are a military general. You should understand that we cannot talk about reason and etiquette with the Mongols or the Jin people."

"To deal with these savages, there is only one more savage than them."

Meng Ying deeply agrees.

He glanced at Zhao Agechang one last time and slowly pulled out his sword.

Zhao Agechang had an incredulous expression on his face, he couldn't believe that Meng Ying wanted to kill him.

"Meng Ying--" His eyes widened, and a trace of pleading flashed in his eyes. If you kill me, how will you rule my people?
"Brother, I will take care of your wife and son." After Meng Ying finished speaking, she waved her knife.

"Puch" cut off Zhao Agechang's head with a knife.

Meng Ying watched his cavalry rush into Diezhou City and behead him.

If the opponent had time to close the city gate, Meng Ying planned to use Zhao Agechang to open the city gate to avoid a strong attack.

Now that the cavalry has entered, Zhao Agechang naturally does not need it.

The person rushing towards Diezhou City was Xixia Shader.

When Meng Ying hugged Zhao Agechang's shoulders, Shader had already led a hundred fine cavalry and rushed towards the city gate.

At that time, they were less than a hundred steps away from the city gate. Meng Gong and Zhao Agechang were chatting happily, and Shader rushed forward with his troops.

The Tibetan soldiers who stacked the city gate were looking at it inexplicably, and suddenly they discovered that there was chaos in front of them, and the two sides started fighting.

"Close the door, close the door." A sergeant at the top of the city immediately exclaimed.

But immediately someone shouted: "Mizha (the honorific title given to nobles by Tibetan slaves and common people) has not come back yet."

There was shouting from above the city, and the gatekeepers below the city were also panicking.

A fight suddenly broke out not far away, but pedestrians were now entering and exiting the city.

Some of the guards called for the door to be closed, while others also called for Miza to not come back.

Common people and pedestrians also turned around and ran inside.

"Close the door——" The first guard should be Zhao Agechang's confidant, and he will call the door closed regardless of whether he draws his sword at 21 or [-].

But there were people running in from outside one after another, and the city gate was closed for a while.

At this moment, the sound of heavy hooves was getting closer.

There was no moat in Diezhou City, so Shadel rushed within fifty steps in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the people running madly inside, the city gate became smaller and smaller.

Shadr quickly drew his bow and loaded the arrow.

Phew, he took the lead and shot out an arrow.

Plop, a Tibetan citizen in front just turned around and ran to the city gate, but was knocked down by Shader with an arrow.

Then whoosh, arrows flew out from behind him one after another.

There were screams at the city gate, and many Tubo people fell to the ground on the spot.

Many people were lying right in the middle of the city gate.

The Tibetans pushed the door but couldn't close it, and the ground was full of screams and cries for help.

"Shoot an arrow." At this time, someone at the top of the city was also shouting in panic.

Tubo archers came running over from all sides one after another. Whoosh, whoosh, a wave of arrows hit Shader's team from the top of the city.

The Xixia people fell to the ground with dozens of horses.

But more cavalry have rushed into Wengcheng.
