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

Chapter 402 The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind?

Brother Caiba walked to the street and looked back around, his eyes full of fierce light.

"Miza?" Ali, who was accompanying the escort, asked in a low voice.

"What are you waiting for? Mobilize the troops and take action immediately."

"No." Ah Li also excitedly held the long knife at his waist.

He finally waited for today. He wanted to prove to his father and mother who abandoned him that he could become a master in Tubo and become a person with status and status.

As long as he helps Tsebago ascend to power and become the governor of Qinghai-Tibet Province, Tsebago promises to give him thousands of slaves.

He will become a noble slave owner.

When the time comes, he will bring a large number of slaves back to the vicinity of Diezhou City to show his parents and even Mo Yong and Zhang Ying's people who look down on him.

It's not just the Song Army that counts as a good life.

I, Ah Li, am a noble, and you are the dogs of the Song Dynasty.

The more Ah Li thought about it, the more excited he became. He and Gashir mounted their horses and galloped to the east of Luoche City.

Luoxue City is the territory of Caiba Ge, and some of his elite troops are stationed in the camp in the east of the city.

When Ah Li arrived, the people in the camp were already ready to go. Everyone was wearing armor and carrying weapons. Ah Li took a look and saw that there were almost a thousand people at the scene, and almost everyone was wearing Song Army-style armor.

This kind of armor was obtained by the nobles from the Song army in exchange for war horses and other supplies.

Ah Li also received one himself. After passing through it, he found that the armor made by Song Jun was lighter than Song Jun's own armor.

The infantry armor of the Song Army was mainly concentrated on the head, shoulders, and chest. These three parts were extremely thick and were key to preventing Mongolian arrows. They were also issued to the front row in the field and when stationed at the head of the city. The mask, with only the eyes exposed, is quite effective in preventing arrows. It weighs fifty or sixty kilograms.

The Zha armor sold by the Song Army to the nobles weighed about forty kilograms in total. The armor was all over the body, covering it from head to toe. It looked quite sophisticated and good-looking.

Actual defense is not possible.

It looks like it covers the whole body, but the weight is there, evenly distributed to each part, which is relatively light and thin. In fact, the manufacturing process is different and more fragile. Of course, Alili doesn't know about the manufacturing process. In short, Song Jun sold it to Tubo The armor of the nobles is not durable.

The Song army's foot bow can break through armor within fifty steps, not to mention the divine arm bow, which can penetrate armor.

But even this kind of Zhajia is still quite popular in Tubo.

Because the Song army was well-made, and the clothes were close-fitting and good-looking. The sight of these thousand cavalry standing together in full armor was quite shocking.

Damn the people of the Song Dynasty, Ah Li knew that this armor was not good, but it was really pleasing to the eye, and he looked very envious. If he could have a thousand households of slaves in the future, he would have to have one strong man from each household to be a soldier. Everyone is worthy of armor, how majestic is that?

Ah Li was thinking about good things and waved his hand: "Let's go."

Under the rumble of horse hooves, a thousand fine cavalry roared out of the camp.

They first went to the north of the city, where there was another barracks of Caibago. The barracks in the north were temporary, that is, when there were wars, they used the method of drawing one from every three households from the herdsmen.

There were more than 3,000 people gathered at the scene today, all of whom were drawn out in the past few days.

These people are far behind Caibago's elite confidants. Almost no one has iron armor. Some families with better conditions may make their own leather armor from cow and sheep skin, which is considered to be relatively well-equipped. .

More than 3,000 people gathered noisily in the camp, and Ali and Gashir immediately began to distribute them after they arrived.

One thousand elites were divided into two groups, and one half took more than 3,000 people to the outside of the city.

Because there are a small number of troops brought by various nobles outside the city.

The other half and Ali went directly to the area near Shajia Temple.

It was not Ah Li's turn to take the lead in these matters.

However, Caiba's original confidants were all seeking personal gain for themselves, and some of them were recently whipped by Caiba. Caiba did not trust his original confidants, so he reused the group of Alili who had just come over.

Ah Li was dedicated to meritorious service and led his people to quickly approach the Shajia Temple. When he arrived two hundred steps outside the temple, he could see a large number of soldiers and horses outside.

These people were all subordinates of nobles from various states who came to attend the meeting. Each of them was allowed to bring a hundred people into Luoche City, and then each person could only bring ten people into Shajia Temple.

Tubo has been divided for hundreds of years. Each state is autonomous, and no one has ever done this.

This time we were able to gather the parliament because, firstly, the wise man Gyaltsen came forward, and secondly, there were people from the Song Dynasty who came forward.

So no one thought that Brother Caiba would dare to do this.

The soldiers and horses from various countries outside the temple were stunned when they saw Ah Li waiting for a large group of cavalry to rush towards them. The key point was that all the soldiers on the other side were wearing armor.

"What happened?" A general from an unknown country stepped forward and asked.

"Xu" Ah Lili flew over on horseback and rushed in front of the general in an instant.

"What are you doing?" the general started.

"Kill someone." Ah Li smiled ferociously, slashed hard with his knife.

A head suddenly flew up.

"Kill!" The shouts of killing were loud. The men brought by Ah Li rushed in on horseback, slashing left and right, and there were others shooting from the outside with bows and crossbows.

People outside the temple were completely unprepared. Many people were chatting with their horses, or the horses were not around.

The hard-working cavalry suddenly attacked, catching them off guard and causing them to scream in agony.

Ah Lili didn't care about the scene, slashed all the way, and led five hundred elites straight to the gate, while the remaining more than a thousand people were responsible for surrounding and killing these people.

There are also hundreds of people inside the Chajia Temple, because each person could bring ten people in before.

But these people come from various states, unlike the people in Tsebago who are a team.

At this time, Brother Caiba also followed Ah Lili's men and killed him. The place was even more chaotic, and no one knew what was going on.

All the nobles gathered around Gong Gyaltsen. Don't tell me, usually they are aloof and don't look at Gong Gyaltsen. They just respect Gong Gyaltsen on the surface. But now something happened suddenly and everyone hopes to get it. Gyaltsen’s protection.

Some people even looked at the tall Buddha statue in the main hall and kept thinking about something in their hearts.

"What happened?" Gashir, the reserve governor, asked in shock and anger.

"Brother Caiba's men are coming in, coming in." Someone screamed at him.

"Brother Tseba is not convinced? Do you want to be the governor?" Jogaidema was furious.

"He has been obsessed with power. I will definitely try to persuade him." Gyaltsen murmured in a low voice while holding the beads in his hand.

Before the few people finished speaking, there were screams outside. After a while, there was a bang, and the door was slammed open. Someone was shot with many arrows, stumbled into the hall, and then fell to the ground screaming.

Caibago's men prepared powerful crossbows, bows and arrows. Although the men of the nobles from various states were numerous, they were completely unable to withstand them.

The number of people on both sides was about the same, but the subordinates of nobles from various states outside were cleared away in a short time.

Blood flowed into the sacred hall, something that had never happened in Tubo for hundreds of years. Gong Gyaltsen looked at Brother Tseba who came in with armor in disbelief.

Swords and weapons were not allowed in the hall, and the other nobles did not bring weapons. Now everyone was panicking.

With a roar, Ah Li led a large number of elite soldiers into the hall, and the dense crossbows were aimed at everyone in the hall.

"Brother Caiba, you are crazy. Do you dare to use troops at Chajia Temple?" Daru scolded him loudly. Brother Caibago's face twitched slightly. He raised his head and looked at the tall Buddha statue behind everyone, and then his expression turned ferocious: "tui." He spat on the ground.

Everyone immediately yelled and cursed.

"Obviously I have the largest number of soldiers, horses, and population, and the largest territory, and I also pay the most taxes to the Song Dynasty every year. Why should Gashir be the governor?"

"This is elected by everyone. Since you are willing to vote, you must abide by this rule." Gashir said loudly.

"You think I don't know. You go around and promise them benefits, so you can get so many votes. Do you deserve it?" Brother Caiba pointed at his nose and scolded: "You can't even read a few Chinese characters, and you are the only one who can do it." Can I be the governor?"

"Do you know how to write the Chinese character Gashier?"

Gashir's face turned red after being scolded. Indeed, he really didn't know many of the Han soldiers.

"It has been a long time since there has been such a big turmoil in our land. Brother Tseba, don't be blinded by power." The wise man Gyaltsen took a few steps forward, stood in front of Brother Tseba, and advised him earnestly. : "Even if we kill everyone present, we still won't be able to reach the hearts of all the people. This land will be in chaos."

His meaning is also very obvious. Tubo has not been unified for hundreds of years, and each state has its own affairs. Although the nobles are here now, many of their sons and grandsons are not here.

Even if you kill them, all the countries will raise troops to fight against you, which is meaningless, and you will not be able to achieve unification.

If unification was so simple, it would be impossible for Tibet to remain ununified for hundreds of years.

If unification was so easy, the Yuan Dynasty would not just set up 130,000 households in Tubo and let them continue to maintain their strength and manage their own affairs.

But what Gyaltsen said now has no effect, and Brother Tseba couldn't listen to anything.

Song Jun promised him that he could help him send troops to quell the situation.

As long as the group of people in front of them are destroyed, the little nobles behind will destroy whoever dares to raise an army.

"Gong Gyaltsen, please get out of the way. This matter has nothing to do with you. Just take care of your Shajia Monastery." Brother Tseba stepped forward and pushed Gong Gyaltsen away.

He still didn't have the guts to kill Gyaltsen, so he waved his hand without hesitation.

"Kill, no one will be spared except those from Chajia Temple."

"Kill." Ah Li rushed towards him with his knife, and the scene was filled with screams and blood.

Gyaltsen and a wave of monks from Chajia Temple were trembling and were driven aside by the rebels. Everyone was almost stunned with fear.

Chajia Temple, which had not experienced war for hundreds of years, was killed by Caibago's men.

Ahali originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Mo Yong and others, but found that these people could not be found.

After a while, the entire hall was filled with nobles. Ah Li led his men to kill them one by one to ensure that no one was left alive.

He learned this from fighting with the Song Army. After the Song Army fought on the battlefield, or even in the middle, they would send people out to make up for the damage and kill the Mongolian Army with one shot.

Brother Caiba was very satisfied when he saw it. Sure enough, these people had followed Song Jun for many years and were relatively reliable in their work.

"how many people?"

"Forty-one." Ah Li came over to report after counting.

"?" Brother Caiba stared: "Count it again."

The total number of nobles in the big and small states should be forty-three. Not counting Caiba himself, there must be forty-two.

Ah Li sent someone to count again, and it was still forty-one.

"Who? Who is missing?" Brother Caiba was a little flustered. He went out in person and looked through them one by one.

Because many nobles and their subordinates don't know them.

After Brother Caiba looked through them all, he finally confirmed that Zay was missing from the scene.

His mind immediately went back to Zay.

Zai was a leader of a small state. When he fought with the Song army, he sent out 3,000 troops and lost 3,400 horses in just one wave. Later, he followed Gong Gyaltsen and surrendered to the Song army immediately.

Zai was the first to surrender that year, and he went with Gyaltsen.

"Where's Zai?" Brother Tseba came to Gong Gyaltsen fiercely with his men.

Gong Gyaltsen shook his head and said he didn't know, only that he was there before.

"Where are those people from the Song Dynasty?" Ah Li asked at this time.

Gyaltsen also shook his head, told them to be clear, and they left.

"Miza, what should we do next?" At this time, someone came in from outside, indicating that everyone outside the temple had been dealt with.

Brother Caiba didn't hum, thinking about the next thing in his mind.

The Song Army promised him that after he had dealt with all these people, the Song Ting would come out again to appease the states. If there were still those who objected and wanted to fight, the Song Army would join him in raising troops to quell them.

As long as there is support from the Song Army, we are not afraid.

"Let's go back first." Brother Caiba ignored Chajia Temple and prepared to leave with his people.

As soon as they arrived outside the door, they saw a large number of people lying around outside. They were all killed by them from various countries.

There were sporadic battles in the distance. Some people were fleeing into the distance, and his people were chasing after them.

"How is the situation outside the city?" Brother Caiba asked Aili.

Alili didn't know what was going on outside the city, because no news came back from Geerqin.

Just when Cebago was about to go out of the city with his men to find Zai.

Suddenly a large number of soldiers and horses appeared not far away.

Brother Caiba took a closer look and saw that it was his own person, but he seemed very panicked.

"Miza, Miza—" Geerqin ran towards this side in a panic, with a large number of defeated troops behind him, and more people and horses coming from a distance.

"What happened?" It was Brother Caiba's turn to look confused.

"Zay, Zaimiza - it's Zay - he brought thousands of soldiers and horses - all elite armored men - ambushed us - entered the city, fought into the city -" Geerqin cried.

"What?" Brother Caiba had an incredible expression on his face.

He suddenly thought of a famous saying among the Han people: "The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows?"

I've been killing for a long time, Zai, this bitch wants to pick peaches?

Brother Caiba's expression also became distorted, and his mind was filled with killing.

At this time, he didn't worry about Zai, because Zai was just a small state. It used to have only five or six thousand households. In recent years, the number of people has been even smaller, not even five thousand households. Many people went to the Song Dynasty. .

A small country with less than 5,000 households actually wants to challenge me, Brother Caiba? What's more, this is still his Caibago's territory.

"Baluo Ci, go back and gather more people. The rest of you, follow me." There are still many elite people around Ceba, and he doesn't take Zai's people seriously at all.
