Five years ago, in November of the tenth year of Chunyou, because Sichuan's pacification and control ambassador Yu Jie worked hard for eight years to defend Sichuan, the court specially ordered commendation and was promoted to the second level.

Following the imperial edict, there was another private message, which was written by Zheng Qingzhi, the prime minister, to Yu Jie.

The letter said that I was about to retire and return home, and I just wanted to wait for a highlight moment to retreat. The meaning was that you can get a brilliant result as soon as possible, and I will be honored with credit.

Yu Jie was a rare talented man. He was always thinking about regaining lost territory. After being encouraged, he decided to launch an army to fight against the north and take Hanzhong first.

He quickly mobilized various elite troops and set out from Chongqing. While inspecting the northern border, he supervised the construction of Pingliangshan City.

Hanzhong was upgraded to Xingyuan Province by Mongolia at this time, but it was named Liangzhou in ancient times and was named "Pingliang", which means to pacify Liangzhou, and expressed Yu Jie's determination to fight the northern expedition.

In order to restrain the Mongolian cavalry, Yu Jie had built more than ten mountain cities in Sichuan, so he had a lot of experience and took two months to build Pingliang City.

It was already March of the following year, and then he led his army to Hanzhong. In the first battle, he defeated the Mongolian Marshal Lilu Wang Jin in the Taurus Road area. Then he won three battles and three victories, capturing a large number of enemy troops.

In April, Yu Jie arrived at Zhongliang Mountain outside Xingyuan City, set up a camp and began to attack the city, and at the same time burned down the plank road in the north of Xingyuan City to prevent Mongolian reinforcements.

However, the Mongolian garrison in Xingyuan City is not an ordinary person, but a Mongolian general Jiagu Longgujie who has been in battle for a long time. He has managed Xingyuan City for more than ten years and has very complete and solid city defense fortifications.

At the same time, this "False Bone Dragon" has many Han staff members, which made him do a good job in civil affairs. The warehouses are full, and unlike most other Mongolian generals who only pursue killing, this guy learned to Huairou and Anjing More than a dozen local tyrants who had originally dominated the country surrendered, and four or five Song generals voluntarily surrendered.

Therefore, although there are only 5,000 defenders in Xingyuan City, it is really difficult to fight. In addition, Shu is full of mountains and difficult to move around, Yu Jie's army cannot bring large-scale siege equipment. Although he launched many fierce attacks, he still cannot conquer it.

Seeing that the hard attack was difficult to work, Yu Jie used strategies many times, but they were all seen through by a Han aide named Li Tang under the "False Bone Dragon". So he had to surround Xingyuan City and attack the surrounding areas, and also obtained the With certain results, several Mongolian Han troops were captured and 500 northern-land good horses were seized and tributed to the court.

The Mongolian Marshal Tu Xue and Gongchang Chief Wang Dechen and others led their troops to rescue, but because the plank roads in the Qinling Mountains were burned, they were stuck.

Until he captured three Mongolian deserters who escaped from Hanzhong, and under their guidance, he rushed from Chen Cangdao to Hanzhong.

When Yu Jie learned that the Mongol army was coming to help, he had no choice but to burn all the siege equipment and retreat overnight.

Jiang Huai's troops were originally the guerrilla left army stationed in Jiankang. They came to Lunwu, Sichuan, and were a guest army. Therefore, Yu Jie was used as the central army and did not go to war. At this time, he took the initiative to ask for orders to cut off the rear for everyone and block the Mongolian cavalry. Chase.

In order to better utilize the terrain, Jiang Huai divided his 4,000 troops into three divisions, he led two thousand himself, Liu Xiuli and Chen Xiaokun each led one thousand, and they attacked the Mongolian army layer by layer, which was very effective, and the large army evacuated safely.

After completing the task, Jiang Huai also began to evacuate and sent someone to send a message to Liu Xiuli, asking him to respond in a place called Songshuping.

As a result, Liu Xiuli secretly killed the messenger, and then revealed the response location through Cui Jianzhang to Wang Dechen who was pursuing. So Wang Dechen immediately led his army to Songshuping in advance and set up an ambush in the valley. After Jiang Huai entered the encirclement, Wang Dechenduo

The second time, the persuasion of surrender was fruitless, he launched a siege.

After waiting for a long time, he waited for bad news. Chen Xiaokun had to retreat with Liu Xiuli, who pretended not to know anything. Later, although he had suspected Liu Xiuli, he could only bear it in his heart without any evidence. If it weren't for today.

After discovering Cui Jianzhang, the truth may never be confirmed.

At this time, Chen Xiaokun could no longer bear the flames in his heart, and punched Liu Xiuli's nose, "You beast! Brother Jiang has always regarded you as his confidant brothers, but you harmed him and ruined two thousand brothers.

You are worse than beasts!"

One punch, another punch made Liu Xiuli's skin and flesh burst out and became unbearable.

Zhao Mengqiu told Wu Qiong to stop Chen Xiaokun, "It's too cheap to kill him. He must pay enough money to comfort so many unjust souls who were killed by him."

Liu Xiuli was like a pool of mud, spread on the ground, but his eyes were full of madness, pulling the corners of his broken mouth, and laughing strangely.

"Ha...hehe... treat me like brothers and sisters!? He is just hypocritical...hehe, even though he is obviously not as good as me, he repeatedly snatches away what should belong to me! When he was studying arts and martial arts, he was not as strong as me

, I am not as conscious as me, and I have never beaten me when I practice, but my master seems to not see all this, and I have never had a good face to me. I hide my skills and don’t teach me, but I secretly teach Jiang Huai. Why?

...I gave him the Shu Xiu who was apprenticed to be a disciple. He asked him to teach me, but he refused to die!"

"Also, if I first went to join the army, if it weren't for my Liu family's route, how could I directly surrender under the command of Chen Du, and I happened to be taken as a student by him?... Haha, Jiang Huai is still not as good as me in military affairs!

However, that guy was accustomed to pretending to be good at being good at seducing Zhiniang... Haha... Haha... Chen Shuai originally planned to betroth Zhiniang to me, but the guy used despicable means to seize Zhiniang's heart.

, I lied to Zhiniang that he would not marry!"

"Ha... everything was taken away by him. My beloved woman, Chen Shuai's mantle, the commander of the guerrilla left army, the commander of the Fenghua army, all of them were taken away by him! Why shouldn't he die! He should have died long ago

Now!"

Liu Xiuli hysterically accused the "injustice" he suffered as a lunatic.

Crazy about love?

Are Liu Xiuli and Jiang Huai rivals?

Because of the frustration in love, I hold a grudge in my heart?

Could it be that Liu Xiuli asked his son to marry Wanwan to make up for the regret that he could not get it?

It sounds a bit bloody, and it seems that hateful people must be pitiful, but it is just a psychopathic and distorted human nature.

What's more, for the sake of personal grudges, he treasoned the enemy and sent two thousand lives to the enemy's butcher's knife. This behavior is too despicable.

Zhao Mengqi shook his head, too lazy to listen anymore, "Don't let him talk anymore, dogs can't spit out ivory. People like this always feel that all the unhappiness is owed to him by others."

Wu Qiong asked Liu Xiuli to shut up very rudely. He took out a dagger, tweeted it into his mouth, and picked out a broken tongue.

Afterwards, Liu Xiuli could only let out a meaningless howl, gradually becoming more and more powerless, hunched on the ground, twitching from time to time, like a dying dog.

Wu Qiong asked, "Your Highness, how should you deal with this guy?"

The backstabarians are a hundred times more hated than real enemies, so Zhao Mengqi naturally has nothing to do with Liu Xiuli.

"This kind of people who collude with enemies, treason their country, commit crimes, betray their comrades, betray their nation, and forget their ancestors for several times. They can't repay their crimes even if they die ten thousand times. They hang them on the city tower and eat their lives from heaven and earth. After death, they will crush their bones and ashes, and at the same time, they will commit crimes.

To inform the world, to warn those who come later!”

In the more than 20 years since the beginning of the war in the Song and Meng, there have been many Song army generals who surrendered to Mongolia. If they do not think of practical measures, there will probably be more in the future.

Zhao Mengqi's high-profile expression of his attitude is also a shock to some potential traitors.

As for Cui Jianzhang, he cannot be allowed to die easily, and hand it over to Hou Tao for subsequent interrogation to empty his so-called secrets.

In addition to ordinary soldiers, Zhao Mengqi planned to escort Lin'an and let the court deal with it, so that no one could jump out and ask him to be criticized and said that King Yan had no rules.

At this time, the battlefield was still in a mess. Because of insufficient manpower, there was only time to send the wounded guards into the city for treatment. As for the nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers of the rebels, they didn't care about it. In addition, the bodies of the enemy and us were not too late to clean up.

Fortunately, Cao Lie brought five thousand reinforcements. Although he couldn't catch up with the battle, he could just leave the battlefield to him.

After getting things done, Zhao Mengqi returned to the city, thinking about the wounded, so he went to Wulou first.

This time the defending city won, but the price paid was not small. Most of the defenders and civilians suffered casualties, four or five hundred died in battle, and six or seven hundred wounded. If the treatment is not in place, the number of deaths will definitely be necessary.

Increase.

Wulou covers an area of ​​more than two acres and is quite large, but it cannot accommodate so many wounded people. Fortunately, the people nearby spontaneously gave up their shops and houses and took the initiative to help take care of the wounded people.

When he arrived outside Wulou, Zhao Mengqi did not see the expected noisy and panic scene. Although people were so busy that they were not touching the ground, they seemed to be orderly. It seemed that Wanwan was handling it well.

Zhao Mengqi felt a little relieved, and after thinking about it, he decided not to go in, so as not to be helpless and cause trouble.

There was nothing wrong for the time being, and a strong fatigue surged up. He felt a little unable to bear it, so he simply returned to the county government first.

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Qian came to him, without even saying anything to congratulate the victory, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, you originally planned to open the gate and drain the water early this morning, but it was disturbed by the rebels. Now I dare not delay it anymore.

It has to be executed immediately."

Zhao Mengqi was a little dizzy and was stunned when he heard this, "Ah? I really forgot about this, but I see that the sun is shining brightly now, so there should be no need to discharge the flood."

"Old minister went to the lake to check the water level. It was less than two feet away from the embankment, which means at least it was raining upstream of Taihu Lake. It would definitely not work if the gate was opened." Wu Qian looked solemn.

"This..." Zhao Mengqi pondered for a while, his mind was still a little confused. Finally, he decided to believe Wu Qian, after all, it was a matter that had been decided.

"Okay, then let's do as Mr. Wu said. There are five thousand soldiers outside the city, and most of the Dongwei and Fenghua Army should be here. If there is time, try to make arrangements as appropriate as possible, at least to ensure the people.

safety of life.”

"The old minister is also thinking this way."
