After several months of fighting the Yangguan, Xiao Pidi was naturally agitated when it was finally breached.
The most important thing is that when Yangguan is breached, the entire Hexi battle will undergo earth-shaking changes.
He can use this to unite with Qingtang soldiers and attack the Song Army together.
In addition, he can also invite the Black Khan King Yusufu back by taking advantage of the breach of Yangguan.
He can ask the Black Khan King Yusufu to conquer the army again and enter the territory of Song Dynasty to siege the city and land.
After all, the Black Khan King Yusufu was in Hexi and suffered heavy losses.
Now that Yangguan is breached, the Black Khan King Yusufu has the opportunity to enter the territory of Song State and siege the city to make up for the loss. He has no reason not to be tempted.
Just when Xiao Pidi was thinking of the black khan king Yusufu.
The Black Khan King Yusufu had already taken a step ahead of him and entered a big urn.
The big urn was laid by Gegewu and Princess Heikhan.
The name of the big urn is Qiuci.
After the Black Khan King Yusufu led his soldiers and horses to withdraw from Shazhou.
Stayed in Illinois for half a month.
He cleaned up the soldiers in the army who were infected with the plague, and at the same time rectified the soldiers and horses, it took a full half a month before the generals who were infected with the plague were cleaned up.
Although he was furious when he learned that his princess had fornication with a kid who didn't know the people.
But he was not dazzled by anger.
He knew that the plague was an ominous thing, and he couldn't bring it back to the Black Khanate, otherwise the entire Black Khanate would be destroyed in his hands.
So he suppressed the anger in his heart, and stayed in Izhou for half a month, and eliminated the plague by finding one and cutting one.
Then he rushed to the black Khan with his soldiers and horses.
All the way to Qiuci.
Without thinking about it, he plunged into Qiuci City.
He did not expect that in order to completely control the Black Khanate, Ge Ge Wu planned to eradicate him, the Black Khan King.
So an ambush was placed in the city of Qiuci.
As soon as he entered Guici, the ambush soldiers in the city suddenly appeared, besieging them, and then did not fight them close, but closed the gate of the city and poured a lot of fierce oil. The whole Qiuci city.
Standing on the head of the city, Ge Gewu held the princess of the Dark Khan King Yusufu, personally threw down the torch, and lit the entire Qiuci.
The Black Khan King Yusufu and his soldiers wailed for seven days and nights in Qiuci City, and finally turned into ashes with Qiuci City.
Since then, the Black Khanate has become the private possession of Gegewu.
Gegewu was in the Dark Khanate and strangled Xiao Pidi's best ally, Xiao Pidi didn't know it.
After Xiao Pidi learned that Yangguan might be breached, he ordered the Liao soldiers to attack the city with all their strength to help Qingtang soldiers.
However, the firepower of the Song soldiers was too fierce, even if Xiao Pidi ordered the Liao soldiers to attack the city with all their strength, they were crushed to death.
In the end, the shadow of Qingtang soldiers appeared on the east of Yangguan.
Xiao Pidi ordered the Liao soldiers to stop the attack on the city.
After Qingtang soldiers occupied Yangguan, they immediately raised two banners.
Xiao Bidi looked at the unique Qingtang banner and laughed.
Yuanshan and Cruy appeared on Yangguan Xicheng together, preparing to invite Xiao Bibi into the city according to the design.
But before they were invited, Xiao Pidi offered to enter the city.
Yuanshan and Cruy pushed the boat along the water, opened the door of Yangguan, and went to meet Xiao Pidi.
The two led a small team of soldiers out of the city.
After leaving the city, I saw Xiao Pidi led the Liao soldiers all appearing beside the suspension bridge in front of Yangguan Pass.
"General Xiao..."
"General Xiao..."
The two met Xiao Pidi and took the initiative to salute.
Xiao Pidi hammered his chest with one hand, gave a bow, and asked, "I haven't consulted yet?"
"Wonshan!"
"Croy!"
"..."
After Xiao Pidi learned the names of the two, he praised: "It turns out to be General Yuanshan, the leader of the Yuanshan tribe, and General Cruy, the head of the Akrui tribe.
No wonder the Yangguan will be broken.
I have heard of the name of the second person in Liao.
The two soldiers and horses under his command are very brave and good at fighting. "
Yuan Shan smiled and said: "General Xiao is polite, we also took the opportunity to pick up a bargain, not to be brave."
Xiao Pidi shook his head and said: "General Yuanshan is humble. The name of Yuanshan Iron Cavalry, Megatron Western Region. This time Yangguan can be broken, Yuanshan Iron Cavalry must have done a lot."
Yuan Shan did not greet Xiao rivalry anymore, but smiled and said: "This is not a place to talk. General An was confronted with Song General Di Qing before. He suffered some skin injuries and is now recuperating, so I sent the two of me to welcome you into the barrier. , Discuss big things together.
The general of my family has ordered people to prepare food and drinks to entertain General Xiao. "
Xiao Pidi was taken aback, and said with emotion: "Di Qing is indeed brave. I almost died of Di Qing's hand before."
Speaking of this, Xiao Pidi questioned: "Where is Di Qing now?"
Yuan Shan said slightly arrogantly: "I was captured by Yuan Shan with iron cavalry, and is now detained at the place where General An is staying."
Xiao Pidi was overjoyed, "What are you waiting for, take me into the city quickly."
When Xiao Pidi knew that Di Qing was still alive, the reason why he exuded joy.
It wasn't because he had the opportunity to personally kill the enemy.
It was Di Qing he liked, planning to help Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu recruit Di Qing.
Di Qing sat in the Shouyang Pass for several months and fought against Xiao Bidi many times.
Xiao Pidi knew Di Qing's capabilities very well.
If such a character can be used by Da Liao, then Da Liao will have one more general.
If Di Qing shows up in the future, he might still be able to take the position of privy envoy of the Liao Dynasty.
Yuanshan and Cruy saw that Xiao Pidi was so impatient, they smiled and looked at each other, and asked Xiao Pidi to enter the city.
After entering the city.
Xiao Pidi smelled a strong smell of gunpowder and saw a piece of ruined wall.
Xiao Bidi was taken aback for a moment.
Yuan Shan explained with a smile: "It was like this when we entered the city. I told my subordinates to grab a tongue and ask before I knew it.
Song State's firearms are stocked here.
Firearms are afraid of sparks.
Some soldiers of Song Dynasty accidentally left Huozhe here, causing a fire.
The firearms all exploded under the fire, exploding the contents of the gate to pieces.
The houses in the city were all destroyed. I don't know how many people were buried in it.
The reason why we were able to break through Yangguan so smoothly was also the result of the firearm explosion. "
Xiao Pidi looked at the large fragments of debris formed after the explosion, and couldn't help saying: "Firearms are a good thing, but they are not easy to store.
If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself first. "
Yuan Shan nodded in agreement.
While riding his horse forward, Xiao Pidi looked at the ruined wall, and then asked Yuanshan indifferently, "How many firearms have been seized in Qingtang this time?"
Yuan Shan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There are probably more than 30,000 muskets and hundreds of cannons..."
Xiao Pidi asked casually: "I didn't see anyone holding firearms in your soldiers and horses. Where did you store the firearms?"
"Yangguan Guancheng Yamen, where General An stayed!"
Yuanshan knew what Xiao Pidi meant by asking this, so he gave the answer without hesitation.
As in today's countries, apart from Song Kingdom, there is no one who doesn't care about firearms.
The power of firearms on the battlefield and their role on the battlefield are obvious to all.
Anyone who is a leader knows how powerful firearms are and how they affect war.
The Black Khan, Liao Kingdom, and Qingtang attacked the Song Dynasty purely because of their numerical superiority, and forced the Song Kingdom to defend against the city.
If there is no number advantage, then they would not be able to force Song Kingdom to occupy the city.
Song Guo could completely rely on the power of firearms to crush them.
Not only that, once Song State's firearms launched an offensive, they had almost no room to fight back except for being beaten.
It is precisely because of this that all nations outside the Song Dynasty attach great importance to firearms.
They all want to get firearms and the forging methods of firearms.
It's just that Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are very tight on firearms, so the countries outside the Song Dynasty can only be greedy.
Now that Yangguan has been broken, a large number of firearms have been seized.
Naturally, try to plan a little bit.
After Xiao Pidi learned that the firearms were stored in the gate of the general guarding the gate, he subconsciously urged the war horse to quickly ran to the gate of the guard general.
period.
Xiao Bidi did not doubt Wonshan and Cruy.
Because he didn't think that Yuanshan and Cruy would take refuge in Song State, and then help Song State to deal with him together.
The two were from two forces, and when Jiao Si Luo sent them, it was random again.
Therefore, there is almost no chance of two people having problems together.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Pi is not too vigilant against the two.
Xiao Pidi led the soldiers and horses to the Shouguan General's Yamen in a hurry. Before entering the Shouguan General's Yamen, Xiao Pidi felt something wrong.
He didn't seem to see many corpses of the Song army from entering the Guancheng to the general's Yamen.
Was it cleared by Qingtang soldiers
Is the efficiency of Qingtang soldiers a bit too fast
With doubts, Xiao Pidi entered the guard general's office.
As soon as I entered the Yamen and looked into the distance, I saw a person sitting in the lobby of the main hall of the Yamen.
Since it was already evening and the sky was a little dark, Xiao Pidi couldn't see who it was.
When Xiao Pidi walked in, and after seeing the figure sitting in the lobby, his face changed drastically.
Xiao Pidi subconsciously drew the long knife in his waist.
It was just that Wonyama and Cruy grabbed him before him, grabbed his arms, and held him down.
The soldiers who followed Yuanshan and Cruy decisively drew their swords and wiped the necks of Xiao Bidi's guards.
Xiao Pidi was pushed to the ground and asked in disbelief, "How could it be? How could it be?"
"Hahaha..."
Loud laughter came from the main hall of the Yamen.
With a smile on his face, Di Qing stepped out of the main hall of the Yamen, staring at Xiao Pidi, and said, "General Xiao, don't come here without any problems?"
Xiao Pidi stared and asked loudly, "Why? Why is this happening?"
Di Qing stared at Xiao Pidi and smiled: "When An Ziluo ran away, it should be just like you thought."
Xiao Bidi's pupils shrank, turned away with difficulty, and looked at Cruy and Yuanshan.
"You betrayed Qingtang together?! How many of you have betrayed Qingtang?"
Xiao Pidi was shocked and angry in his heart, but he did not lose his mind.
Jiao Si Luo sent people to attack Yang Pass, and they must be randomly selected.
Then the chance that the people he chooses are all traitors is very slim.
Now that the two people he selected to attack Yangguan were all traitors, it showed that there were more than two traitors around Jiao Si Luo.
Otherwise, no matter how you choose Jiao Si Luo, it is impossible to pick two traitors very cleverly.
If there are more than half of the traitors around Jiao Si Luo.
Si Luo's battle against Da Song Hexi this time can be declared over.
Half of the traitors turned against the water, and Jiao Si Luo would be killed directly.
Not only will Jiao Si Luo die, but Qingtang will probably fall into the hands of Song Dynasty, or be divided by the traitors.
Di Qing stared at Xiao Pidi, who was lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "They are not betraying, they are throwing away the dark. Because Jiao Si Luo is against my Da Song, he is destined to be eliminated.
And your Liao country will end in the same way. "
When Xiao Pidi heard this, he said grimly: "You want to be beautiful, half of your Song Kingdom's troops are controlled by me. My Majesty the Great Emperor of Liao led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack, so what would your Song do
Song State will eventually become my horse pasture in Daliao.
You people will eventually become prisoners of my Daliao. "
Di Qing sighed and said, "As far as I know, my master Cao Wei was sent by Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao Emperor. Do you think that with my master sitting on the border, the Liao Emperor can invade one step south?"
Xiao Pidi gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Wei is not far from death."
Di Qing smiled sarcastically: "Isn't the Liao Emperor the same?"
Xiao Pidi glared at Di Qing fiercely.
Where Di Qing stood, there was no words, as if listening to something.
Xiao Pidi didn't care at first, but after a long time, he seemed to remember something, his face changed drastically, "Let them go! They can surrender!"
"call!"
Di Qing exhaled a foul breath and said calmly: "It's late..."
"Boom..."
"Puff puff… "
"what… "
"..."
Gunshots, bows and crossbows, and screams all sounded together.
An instant resounded inside and outside Yangguan.
Xiao Pidi stared at Di Qing angrily and roared: "Even if you leave them as slaves! Why kill them all!"
Di Qing said indifferently: "I have captured more than 600,000 prisoners from the black sweat king Yusufu. It's enough, and we can't afford it any more."
Xiao Pidi angrily asked, "How can you not be able to support you, Song Dynasty, who is so rich?!"
Di Qing stared at Xiao Pidi coldly and said: "The reason why Song Dynasty is rich is because the people of Song Dynasty are diligent, and the food grown by people of Song Dynasty is so diligent, why should we raise a group of robbers."
Xiao Bibi bit his teeth angrily.
Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers trained by him, were slaughtered because of his oversight.
The regret, self-blame, and despair in his heart filled Xiao Pidi's chest.
There was blood flowing down the corner of his mouth, and he really crushed his teeth.
Di Qing was very satisfied with Xiao Pidi's expression, and he ordered his pros and cons next to him: "Take him down so that he can be detained."
He followed him, took Xiao Pidi from Yuanshan and Cruy, and escorted Xiao Pidi to the dungeon behind the general's Yamen.
After Di Qing was taken down by Xiao Bidi, Yuanshan and Cruy went out to guard the general's Yamen.
Outside the Yamen, a street leading to the west gate of Yangguan was stained red.
There were more than 80,000 defenders in Yangguan, plus 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Yuanshan Ministry, plus 40,000 soldiers and horses from Kluy. A total of nearly 170,000 soldiers and horses worked on the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Liao Kingdom. , It is almost a unilateral massacre.
Under the cross attack of muskets and crossbows, the Liao soldiers had no room to resist.
After the war, Di Qing ordered the lieutenant to take people to clean the battlefield.
He took Yuanshan and Cruy to the backyard of the Yamen.
In the backyard.
Li Di and Chen Yaozi are like two idlers with nothing to do, sitting opposite each other.
After Di Qing arrived with Yuanshan and Cruy, the two slowly got up.
Di Qing gave a fist to the two and said, "Gong Li, General Chen, the battle at Yangguan has already been understood."
Yuanshan and Cruy followed Di Qing to salute Li Di and Chen Yao.
Li Di and Chen Yaozi gave a gift.
Li Di smiled and said: "This time the battle at Yangguan can be resolved so quickly, the full screen leader Yuanshan and the head of Cruy. The old man will go back to the book official's house and ask for credit for both of you."
Yuan Shan said neither overbearing nor overbearing: "Zhifu Li praised it."
Cruy was a little pleased, and learned what Yuanshan looked like: "Li Zhifu Miao praised."
Li Di raised his brows and nodded in response to Cruy, then looked at Yuanshan and exclaimed: "The old man thinks you are like a Song scholar, and you are also a scholar."
As soon as this remark came out.
Cruy, Di Qing, and Chen Yaozi all looked at Yuanshan.
Yuan Shan smiled indifferently, "When I was young, I went to the Song Dynasty with the elders in the family, learned the knowledge of the Song Dynasty, and also learned a little bit of the etiquette of the Song Dynasty."
When Di Qing and Chen Yaozi heard what Yuan Shan said, they stopped paying attention to the matter.
Li Di smiled and nodded and said, "You studied in Shaanxi Prefecture, right? There is a little accent that is unique to Shaanxi Prefecture in the language. If you are interested in the future, you can ask a gentleman to help you correct the accent."
Yuan Shan saluted again, "Thank you Li Zhifu."
Li Di shook his head and smiled: "The old man is thankful to you. If it weren't for you to send soldiers and horses to Shazhou to help at a critical time, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people in Shazhou will be buried in the hands of the Black Khan King.
You live the lives of thousands of people in Shazhou. As the prefect of Hexi Prefecture, I should thank you. "
Yuan Shan smiled and said, "I rushed to help Shazhou, also for profit. Prisoner Kou who should be given has been given, so Li Zhifu doesn't have to thank you anymore."
Li Di shook his head and said, "He is him, and the old man is the old man. As the prefect of the Hexi Mansion, the old man can still do something.
In the future, if people from Yuanshan Department go to Hexi Prefecture to do business, the old man can get half of his tax exemption. "
Yuan Shan was taken aback, and said decisively, "Thank you Li Zhifu for his generosity."
Cruy heard Li Di's words and looked at Li Di with some shining eyes.
Today, the most prosperous trading cities in the Western Regions are all in Hexi.
People from the Western Regions can hardly do business without Hexi.
It's just that the black-hearted Li Di has set a very high tax. Any outsider who comes to Hexi to trade will be punished by Li Di when he enters the territory of Hexi.
Li Di reduced and exempted half of Yuanshan's taxes, almost treating Yuanshan people as Song people.
Cruy naturally wanted it too.
It's just that he doesn't know how to speak.
Because the tax reduction and exemption for Yuanshan was proposed by Li Di on the initiative, not Yuanshan's request.
Li Di felt Cruy's gaze and smiled at Cruy and said: "Head of Cruy, the old man can't give the people of Akruy's tax deduction or exemption.
Your reward will have to wait for the ruling of the officials and Privy Councilor Kou.
The reason why the old man dared to go beyond the reward of Yuanshan leader is because leader Yuanshan helped me in Hexi privately.
Although Shumi Kou has rewarded him, the old man has to pay back his kindness to the people in Hexi. "
Cruy sighed inwardly when he heard Li Di's words.
Nothing is forced.
Because it's useless to force it.
Hexi's tariffs are set by Li Di, and Li Di has the final say on whether to add or subtract.
The court generally does not care about this.
Because the imperial court knew that Li Di was not Zhou Peking, he would not press people on the ground to pull skin cramps and knock bones to suck the marrow.
When Li Di sets tariffs, he will certainly take reasonable measures.
It will neither crush the Western Regions to death at once, nor will it easily let them go.
Li Di is not a corrupt official. The money he made was either to supplement some wounded soldiers, orphans and widows in Hexi, or to go to school, or he was harvested and sent to the city of Bianjing.
For Li Dimou's wealth, Da Song has benefited, the court has benefited, and the people have benefited.
Therefore, Li Di's accumulation of wealth can be said to be for his country.
Such a move that benefits the country and the people is too late for the court to support, so how can it be possible to intervene.
Therefore, Li Di has the final say on the tariffs in Hexi.
If Li Di didn't speak, it was useless for Cruy to force it.
Even if he approached His Majesty Song Emperor to reason, His Majesty Song Emperor would not turn to him.
Li Di talked about personal matters with Wonyama and Cruy.
Di Qing invited the three of them to sit down and chatted about business affairs.
After they sat down, Di Qing solemnly said: "Now the war at Yangguan is over, and there are no enemies inside or outside Yangguan. We should rectify our troops and go to Yumenguan to help."
Li Di and Chen Yaozi nodded slowly.
Yuanshan did not speak.
The same is true for Cruy.
When Di Qing saw this, he continued: "I mean, General Chen and Li Gong led the soldiers of the Yongxing Army to continue sitting at Zhenyang Pass, and I led the Yongzitou Forbidden Army from Yongzhou to Yumen Pass, and Yuanshan leader Cruy The chiefs led their own soldiers and horses to accompany each other."
Wonshan and Cruy have no objection.
Chen Yaozi was a little unwilling. His purpose of enlisting in the army was to fight.
He has not fought a few battles since he joined the army.
Now that there is a battle, but he cannot participate, he is naturally unwilling.
However, before he opened his mouth, he heard Li Di smile and say: "It's so good that General Chen is here. Not only can he sit in Zhenyang Pass, but he can also help the old man and the people."
Chen Yaozi glared at Li Di.
Li Di seemed to be trying to keep him, but in fact he was blocking his words, not letting him say anything to go to war.
Without waiting for Chen Yaozi to speak again, Di Qing said happily: "Then it is so decided. I will order the soldiers and horses to have a good rest and set off for Yumen Pass tomorrow.
After the war at Yumen Pass, we might be able to go to Liao and eat some leftovers and soup. "
When the voice fell, Di Qing stood up and left with Yuanshan and Cruy.
Chen Yaozi was left sitting on the spot, with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
