Chapter 748

At the same time, Lingnan was not the only one who raised the butcher's knife together.In the far northwest, the party members who were already in the wind also started a quiet palace coup, which eventually led to a bloody killing.

Li Renai, the prince of Xixia, was sad and difficult for the country. Han'er was overbearing and died of worry and anger. He was only 14 years old.Queen Yelu Nanxian was so sad about the death of her beloved son that she went with her in a few days.

Listen, isn't this ridiculous?After Li Yuanhao killed a Princess Xingping of the Liao Kingdom, Li Qianshun lived up to the good name of his ancestors, and also killed a Princess Cheng'an of the Liao Kingdom.And the green is better than the blue because of the blue, and a prince is added.

It's just that Liao Xingzong sent 10 taels of troops to Xixia back then. Although they all returned in defeat, they also showed the arrogance of the boss.The current Emperor Tianzuo has no such ability.And this may also be the most direct reason for Li Qianshun's attack.

The party members held the attitude of "whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it", quietly, the political situation among the party's remnants suddenly changed. Unity of "internal" forces.Immediately after Yelu Nanxian left, concubine Mi Qin was canonized as queen.

Mi Qin's family is a big clan of Dangxiang, one of the eight departments of Dangxiang at that time.Li Qianshun's intention for this move was very straightforward. He did not hesitate to kill his wife who had been in harmony with him for many years and the crown prince who had loved him for many years, and he also wanted to firmly unite the entire party's remnant forces around him.

Such drastic changes can be described as "turning the world upside down". Li Qianshun gave up Khitan and turned to seek internal unity.This ultimately affected not only Xiao Heda [Li Heda] who had been held captive for more than a year but remained silent, it also affected the status of a group of supporters surrounded by Yelu Nanxian's mother and son.

Not to mention the appeal brought by the orthodox status of the mother and son, just say that Emperor Tianzuo "resurrected from the dead". Although the current Daliao has lost Liaodong and Yanyun and its strength has declined, it still occupies the northern prairie. Still powerful.That makes many party members have high expectations for it.

Both Liao and Xixia were victims of the rise of the Central Plains. In the eyes of many party aristocrats, the two are not just in-laws, but also natural alliances.

Therefore, Li Qianshun made such a choice, which greatly touched the entire Khitan interior.At the same time, this guy is too vicious and chilling.

Xiao Heda was so angry that he wanted to cut Li Ganshun alive with a knife, and immediately contacted Qu Huai, who was guarding Ganzhou with the party general Li Liangfu, on behalf of the Northwest Army.Since Liangzhou was taken by the Northwest Army, the party members retreated to Ganzhou.It will also be Zhangye in the Hexi Corridor. This place is indeed a happy place, with mountains on the left and right, fertile plains all around, and there is no shortage of water.A big mountain at the junction of it and Liangzhou is the famous Yanzhi Mountain.It is the Yanzhi Mountain that "lost my Qilian Mountains, so that my six animals will not live; lost my Yanzhi Mountain, and made my married woman colorless".

Wei Ming Qu Huai personally led thousands of troops to sit here, while Li Liangfu led nearly [-] troops to Ganzhou City.Both of them were born in the Dangxiang royal family, but Li Liangfu's status is obviously higher.The reason has already been mentioned above, the Wei name is the original surname of Tuoba Dangxiang, and the two coexist in Xixia, roughly like the yellow belt and red belt of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations.

This man's life was saved by Xiao Heda, not Xiao Heda, Wei Ming Quhuai had already died in Xiazhou.Qu Huai, who was grateful to Xiao Heda in his heart, later became a general in Yelu Nanxian's mother and son camp. He must have been affected by this fluctuation.

"I heard that your lord wants to set up the Eight Banners, but now Xiao dares to ask one of them to be named Qu Huai. I wonder if the Emperor Qi will allow it?" Xiao Heda looked at Zhu Wu with piercing eyes.

The military advisor Shenji laughed loudly, "General Wei Ming has given up the secret and turned to the bright side as he wished. Why should our lord treat him like the leader of a banner? General Xiao should know that Xiao Ke has been waiting for a long time with an edict in his hand." Lu Qian had originally planned to do it. The remnants of Dangxiang set up a flag, and it was most appropriate that Xiao Heda, who was a Khitan and was actually quite famous in the Dangxiang army, was appointed as the flag leader.

Now that Xiao Heda wants to change, this is also a one-sentence matter.

"Sir, you are joking. Xiao is disheartened, and he has no intention of fighting in his official career. I only hope that in the future, I can save my wife and children safely and reunite my family, so I will be satisfied."

"If that's the case, then don't bother the two masters. How about the Sa family bothering General Xiao to go up Yanzhi Mountain in person?" The next day, Lu Zhishen came to see Xiao Heda in person.The style of pie is even more frank and heart-wrenching.

After listening to Monk Hua's words, Xiao Heda was really moved in his heart at this moment.Not for anything else, just because of this trust.

"Haha, that's a bad word. General Xiao is very loyal, and the Sa family admires him very much. How can such an upright and honest man be that untrustworthy villain?"

Monk Hua's words were sincere, and Xiao Heda listened to the words in his heart.This monk is rough and fine, knowing that for a person like Xiao Heda, such words are just right.

And Xiao Heda went out, and the effect was extraordinary.Immediately convinced Wei Ming Qu Huai.

In Ganzhou city at that time, Li Liangfu was also frowning.The changes in the political situation in Shazhou made him feel uneasy.Although it cannot be denied that doing so can unite the remaining party forces to a great extent, the short-term impact on the party is not small.

Obviously, the actions of the Yellow-headed Uyghur and the Gaochang Uyghur to send envoys to the Central Plains successively put a lot of pressure on Li Qianshun.

But fortunately, the party situation is dangerous, and it has already stood on the edge of a cliff. The huge pressure from the Central Plains has made many people know that it must be stable now, and Li Qianshun's move is also flattering his own family, isn't it?Therefore, his position is still firm and unshakable.He still has time to prove to everyone that his choice is correct.

But soon Li Liangfu had no time to immerse himself in his inner world, and there was a sudden sound of fighting outside Ganzhou City.The front part of the Dangxiang soldiers and horses was stationed in Yanzhi Mountain, and the rear part stayed in Ganzhou, but not all of them entered the city.The party members are still nomadic as their main way of life, and there are many people scattered outside the city.

In the night, there were killing sounds in the distance, and the flames shot up into the sky, turning the sky red.

"Report!" A person rushed in.Li Liangfu's face turned pale, he looked at him and said, "What's the matter?" He only hoped that a small number of Han slaves caused the disturbance.

"To command the army, something is wrong! There are a large number of enemy troops outside the city!"

"A large group of enemy troops?" Li Liangfu's mind was in confusion. There was no battle report from Yanzhi Mountain yet, so how could a large number of enemy troops attack the city?But then he shuddered and thought of a possibility... and his face turned livid.

"How many people will come?" Li Liangfu sternly shouted.

"There are as many torches as there are stars, at least ten thousand people!"

Li Liangfu trembled again.

"Drumming, drumming. Pass my order, the whole army is ready to fight!" Seeing that some people around were still in a daze, Li Liangfu shouted loudly.No matter how those enemy troops got to the city, no matter whether the guy on Yanzhi Mountain surrendered or not, the enemy has already arrived anyway.

Fortunately, there are still several thousand people in the city. As long as the organization is effective, it may not be impossible to keep Ganzhou.At least give Suzhou [Jiuquan] time to prepare.

After Ganzhou is Suzhou, which was Jiuquan County in the Han Dynasty. From there to the west is Guazhou and Shazhou, the latter is Dunhuang, and not far to the west is Guyumen Pass.Now the remnants of the party have continued to cross the Dangjin Pass to the southwest and invaded the Qaidam Basin.

To the west of Dangjin Pass is Altun Mountain, and to the east is Qilian Mountain.The Dangjin Pass, which is seven or eight miles wide, is one of the important passages connecting the Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions and Tubo.According to the geographical knowledge of later generations, if you cross this place, you will enter Qinghai.

The Qaidam Basin has a very large territory, but later generations will know what it looks like inside.However, the fact that the remnants of the Ganzhou Uyghurs were able to linger here for nearly a hundred years also shows that this place is survivable at least.

One hundred members of the party looked down on Qaidam, no, they looked down on Tuyuhun.At this time, Qaidam was also called Tuyuhun, because the most elite Hehuang area [Qinghai Lake] in Tuyuhun is now in the hands of the Han people.

And without the lush Qinghai Lake area, Tuyuhun's hometown is only left with the deserted and desolate Gobi, which is a piece of scum compared to the Hetao Plain of the Dangxiang people in the past.Party members may be able to linger here and continue, but to revive it again is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"If Li Qianshun has the courage to enter the Western Regions, my younger brother will risk his life and fight for him. However, this guy is timid, afraid of Gaochang's power, and instead raises his troops into Tuyuhun to find trouble with the yellow-headed Uighur. Could it be that the little brother is going to eat sand with him in the future? Even killing the queen mother and son in one fell swoop is really chilling."

Facing the position of the leader of Yiqi Banner, Wei Ming Qu Huai, who fought side by side with Xiao Heda and fought to the death for the Xixia Kingdom when he was in Xiazhou, surrendered very simply. The reasons for this really came from various aspects.

As soon as Li Liangfu gave the order, the surrounding soldiers immediately went to deliver the order, and the sound of drums resounded throughout Ganzhou City.However, after a while, two soldiers fled back in embarrassment.

"All commanding the army, big things are not good. Big things are not good..."

Li Liangfu's heart sank.

The soldiers in front of him were about to cry: "Then General Cao, General Luo, and General Wang... They didn't follow orders, and they said they were going to surrender Daqi in the Central Plains!"

"What did you say?" Li Liangfu's mind was buzzing, Cao Luo was Han, but he had lived in Xixia for several generations, and the Wang family was a descendant of a powerful Dangxiang family. "These rebellious officials and thieves dare to be so rebellious..."

His vigorous body was trembling, and he almost fainted.Because those three people fully controlled a small half of the troops in the city.Their rebellion turned into elbows and armpits, and they caught themselves off guard, and the city of Ganzhou was in danger.

The same is true.During the conversation, the drums sounded, and Ganzhou City was destroyed.A large number of soldiers and horses outside the city have rushed into the city, because the defenders took the initiative to open the city gate.

Smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Many party members in the city are resisting desperately, but the enemy is pouring in like a tide, which is simply irresistible.

"The Governor has an order. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy." The high-pitched shouts were as loud as thunder.

Weiming Dali was riding on a steed, his eyes were covered with blood, and his vision was dark red.But seeing the influx of enemy troops, he didn't have the slightest timidity, and there were more than ten wounds on his body, which made him already determined to die.He could hardly hold the broadsword in his hand, but he saw a group of enemies rushing close. After laughing, he summoned up all his strength and rode forward.When the big knife is swung, it is to chop and kill.

In the direction of the long knife, a piece of blood was torn, and the current three or four soldiers were hacked to death like chickens and ducks.

The famous man disappeared into the crowd, raising a few bright flowers of blood, and then reached the end of his life as several people shouted in unison.The word "kill" rang out almost at the same time, and several spears pierced his body fiercely. Wei Mingdali felt a chill all over his body, but no pain, only a sense of relief - finally, finally... dead.

The streets and alleys in the city were full of dead bodies, and blood gathered into rivers. At this time, the sporadic party members were still fighting until dawn, and blood gushed out.

At dawn, the sound of killing had stopped, Lu Zhishen led tens of thousands of armored soldiers to stay outside the city, but the main force of the fight last night was a man named Qu Huai and the rebels inside the city.

It's nothing more than that.

At this moment, Wei Ming Qu Huai and the surrendered soldiers in the city are searching the battlefield carefully, checking out the wounded soldiers and corpses one by one.

All the wounded soldiers of one's own side were transported to the logistics camp, and the wounded soldiers on the opposite side were given a knife.

The weapons, armor, flags, and horses were all counted one by one.

The soldiers were very busy, but the surrendered generals in the city had to come to see the governor of Lu. Cao Ding, Luo Yuanju and Wang Eipang straightened their armor and entered the camp slowly.

Xiao Heda, an acquaintance, led them straight into the central military tent. Cao Ding and the other three were very nervous. As soon as they entered the tent, they knelt down, took off their helmets, and touched their foreheads to the ground, not daring to move at all.
Lu Zhishen was very happy in his heart, it was easy to win Ganzhou.He said to the three people below: "Don't be restrained, get up quickly."

The three generals kowtowed their heads again to thank them, and when they stood up, they saw the generals gathered in the tent, not to mention Qu Huai and Xiao Heda, brothers of the Yang family, brothers of the Wu family, Wang Jin, and Shi Dalang, all wearing bright armor and armed with swords , aggressive.In the middle is a big bald head with a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a beard around his cheeks.It is eight feet long and ten girth wide.It was Lu Zhishen, the flower monk.

"The three generals understand the righteousness, and they changed their banners and turned against each other. This is the blessing of the world, and it is also the blessing of the family!" If it was not for Qu Huai and the three of them to fight against each other, how could it be so easy to win Ganzhou?
Cao Ding and the three looked at each other, and Cao Ding said first: "The governor is absurd, and the villains are really terrified. Previously, it was a serious crime to rely on the dark lord to fight against the heavenly soldiers. Fortunately, the governor is magnanimous. I am truly grateful, I will be heartbroken, and I will serve you with death, and I will not fail the kindness of the governor, nor my Majesty's great kindness."

These are all necessary procedures, Monk Hua nodded in satisfaction. "Since you surrender, you are your own family. And it will be included in the discussion."

The three quickly retreated and stood at the bottom.Just listening to one of the generals coming out, he reported: "I am reporting to the governor, the results of this battle have not yet been calculated, only our army's data. And nearly a thousand people were killed, 200 wounded, 5000 horses, weapons and armor were obtained. There are countless flags." As for the specific data on the number of enemies killed and captured, the number of [-] to [-] people is not small.

Such a big victory was achieved without a single soldier, and the Northwest Army has an additional vassal army that is not in common with the party members. This wave of operations is really profitable.

When Li Ganshun decided to unite the remnants of the party more closely, he certainly never thought that there would be such a big twists and turns within the party.Originally, the strength of the party members was greatly damaged, and now they lost an important city for nothing, and lost more than 1 precious soldiers and horses. This is definitely a bad news.

And for Emperor Lu who was far away in Yidu, the great news was that ten more would not be too many.

Now there is a wave of rewards.That Wei Qu Huai holding the imperial edict issued to him by the Emperor Lu was really embarrassing.And Xiao Heda looked at the handwritten letter Yeluchun sent him, and smiled very complicatedly.
