Any tribe that participated in the purge of the Gao family in the capital was undoubtedly afraid of Gao Yingxiang.

They knew very well that once Gao Yingxiang won, what awaited them would be revenge far beyond their imagination.

When I first participated in this purge, I never imagined that it would be like this.

Then, completely defeating Gao Yingxiang and killing Gao Yingxiang has become their best choice.

As for what happens next, it doesn't seem like we need to think too much.

At least, at that time, they can still negotiate with the Song people.

Gao Yingxiang wanted to give Dali to the border town of Xiao Cheng in the Song Dynasty, so they could actually do this.

And this is exactly why Dong Xian was able to convince everyone.

Gao Yingxiang must die.

The special envoy Dong Xian sent to Guiyang generally explained the same meaning.

But Xiao Cheng was noncommittal.

The reason is that Xiao Cheng still needs Gao Yingxiang to clean up the powerful class in Dali for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that basically every one of the powerful elites still existing in Dali has a sworn hatred against Gao Ying.

Even if it didn't exist in the past, it exists now.

When Dong Xian was cleaning up the Gao family, he forced everyone to have their swords stained with blood in order to keep everyone focused and not to follow the example of others.

Therefore, what Gao Yingxiang can do for Xiao Cheng, Dong Xian cannot do, and other dignitaries in Dali cannot do it either.

Gao Yingxiang had nothing left, so he didn't mind wiping out all the old dignitaries in Dali, not only to fulfill Xiao Cheng's entrustment to him, but also to avenge his own family.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not?

After doing this, Gao Yingxiang can use the blood and bones of these guys to build his own ladder upward in the new dynasty.

And can people like Dong Xian change their lives?

Of course not.

Therefore, Xiao Cheng firmly supports Gao Yingxiang.

Many Guiyang Road officials who did not understand Xiao Cheng's thoughts were puzzled. In their view, as long as they agreed to these guys and dealt with Gao Yingxiang, Dali would be at their fingertips.

Many powerful figures in Dali have already expressed their intention to surrender.

They don't understand why the pacifier chooses the easy and the difficult.

Even Luo Xin only understood why Xiao Cheng did what he did after Xiao Cheng explained the whole story in detail.

This is the difference between looking at one step and looking at ten steps.

What most officials on the Guiyang road saw was to quickly end the war in Dali with a victory and turn Dali into the colorful clouds south of Xiao Cheng's mouth.

What Xiao Cheng was thinking about was how to turn Dali into a road to Yunnan in the shortest possible time, so that in the near future, it could become the most powerful aid in his Northern Expedition.

This is also the difference in vision between those in power and ordinary people.

You can't understand the intentions of the layout makers when they place the chess pieces. Instead, you think that your own ideas are correct and smart. Those guys who control the chessboard are all bastards who have nothing to do with their bodies. If you can sit in that position,

We will definitely do better than these guys now.

Many people will think so.

Only when the tide recedes and the bottom of the water is exposed, will the truth of many things truly emerge.

Until this time, many people will sigh!

Oh, so that’s it!

amazing!

But this is a compliment only given to successful people.

There are many chess players who have walked this path but failed, and are likely to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

Those who oppose it will proudly say: This is the result of not listening to everyone and wanting to be dictatorial. It not only harms itself, but also harms the country.

As for those things at the beginning, no one is willing to study carefully what will happen if they succeed.

As far as history is concerned, he always only writes big things about the winners, while for the losers, he only passes by with a few brush strokes.

Therefore, some people will say that history is a bitch who lets people dress up. What you see will always be what you look like after putting on makeup. As for how you look without makeup, not many people need to know.

Dong Xian didn't care that the Song army had two armies, one step and one cavalry, and they were making large-scale penetrations in Dali. Their furious advance was about to completely cut them off from the rear.

He didn't care that the people in the country were raising flags to rebel because they couldn't survive. There were wars and wars. Because a large number of troops were taken away, these rebels armed with simple weapons and even some farm tools and sticks easily attacked the city and plundered the land.

, sweeping away the local area, then rushing to the next place with more people, and everything will be lost wherever it goes.

So more people joined in.

From villages and towns, to counties, and then to prefectures and counties, they finally rushed to what they considered the richest capital.

All of this, in Dong Xian's opinion, is just a side detail.

As long as Gao Yingxiang is killed, everything can start over again.

Because at that time, Xiao Cheng will have no choice but to talk to him again.

This is the only way to save yourself now.

Even if we return and retreat now, the food and grass in the army will not last long. How can we unite everyone after we return!

Only now we can use hatred and fear of Gao Yingxiang to bind everyone together in a last-ditch effort.

The trapped beast still fights, which is the most realistic portrayal of Dong Xian and others today.

But the huge fighting power unleashed by trapped beasts cannot be underestimated.

Gao Yingxiang underestimated his opponent, so he suffered a big loss next.

The rain subsided as night fell.

Dong Xian's camp was basically half flooded.

Even Gao Yingxiang's camp, which was built on an earthen platform, was muddy and made it difficult to move.

But in the middle of the night, heavy rain started again.

Dong Xian's attack was launched at this time.

The number of people was not large, just three thousand.

Compared with the tens of thousands of troops in Dong Xian's camp, it is really nothing worth mentioning.

But these three thousand people were the personal soldiers of the leaders of each tribe.

Even the poorest tribal leader will raise his soldiers to be strong, equip them with the best armor and weapons, and take good care of their families.

Because their wealth and lives are tightly tied to these people.

And these soldiers also know that if the leader fails, even if they don't die at the time, their lives will not be easy in the future. No one will believe them anymore, and those who hate them will inevitably use all possible means to retaliate.

Therefore, as long as there is a chance, they will fight to the end for their leader.

Not only because of loyalty, but also for the sake of one's own family, life and future generations.

Therefore, they don't care about their own death.

As long as you can win, that's fine.

Dong Xian, who was nearly sixty years old, went into battle in person, with his head full of white hair hanging down from under his helmet, adding more tragic color to this fatal attack.

The leaders of more than a dozen tribes gathered here also went into battle in person.

In the pouring rain, they sneaked outside Gao Yingxiang's camp quietly.

During the day, they paid the price of countless lives and dyed the land red with blood, but they still failed to achieve their goal. At this moment, they achieved it so easily.

The fence was effortlessly pushed down over a hundred meters in width, because the heavy rain had loosened the ground, and the piles that were hammered into the soil were no longer strong.

The camp was quiet, there were no patrolling soldiers, and there were no sentries even visible on the towers.

No one could think that the enemy could launch an attack in such heavy rain.

But the attack suddenly started when the rain curtain was so dense that one could not see beyond three steps.

After entering the camp, the war came to an ending that no one could have predicted.

On such a night, with such heavy rain, when the attack started, the communication between them was cut off, and all the command systems agreed in advance failed.

In the entire camp, there was only the most primitive and barbaric fighting.

But Dong Xian won in the end.

The camp, which was impregnable during the day, was destroyed. About half an hour after the war broke out, Gao Yingxiang, who was attacked, broke through the siege and escaped with the desperate help of his guards.

When the sky brightened, the war was declared over. The high-ranking officers either died on the spot, fled in all directions, or put down their weapons and surrendered.

Dong Xian's body was covered with blood and he fell into a pool of muddy water. He had no strength to get up. With the support of several guards, he managed to get up and sat on a bag of grain.

His helmet disappeared at some point, and his white hair fell down. He looked extremely embarrassed, but there was an extremely excited look on his face.
