After he was ambushed at Bali Mountain, he had sent troops to report back to Wulianghetai, saying that there was a navy in Qingfu County, and asked for troops to support him, and plundered prisoners from the east of Fujiang River and attacked the city.
But now four or five days have passed, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived.
To the east of Fujiang River there are only high mountains with artillery carriages, or trenches and traps.
He also saw the Song army's camp, which was located under the Yankou Rock. It didn't even have a wall. There were only a hundred troops stationed inside, and they fired arrows at him from a distance.
Nige did not attack the camp.
He saw the deer's antlers and saw two ditches surrounding them.
He bypassed it, and the Song army caught up with them at a long distance without firing arrows.
Nige knew that the Song army was not even willing to give him any more arrows, and planned to trap him to death with cannon stones and traps.
He made a difficult decision to let the horseless "infantry" go ahead into the trap and exchange their deaths for the life of the cavalry.
To the north of Yukou Rock, there is a small river that merges into Fujiang River, called "Qingqing River". When Nige crossed the river, there were only 70 infantry and more than 70 cavalry left.
He knew that the Song army was about to attack halfway across the river again, and sure enough, the cavalry crossed on horseback, and Song troops immediately rushed up from both sides and rear.
Nige had expected this, so he rode off with more than seventy horsemen, leaving behind the infantry.
There are two ways to go after this. One is to go east around this long mountain range; the other is to go north over Zaizhuding and leave Qingfu County.
Nige thought that the reinforcements had not come, and that they might have been intercepted by the Changning Army to the east, and did not dare to go eastward. So he chose to climb over the top of the slaughtering pig.
The mountain is so steep that you can only climb it by dismounting.
They didn't dare to abandon the horses, so they could only pull the horses to climb, which was more energy-consuming.
At this time, two days had passed since Nige crossed the Fu River. He had no food and was exhausted.
…
Li Xia stood on top of the slaughtered pig.
He set up watchtowers on several high mountains on the east bank of Fujiang River. He could always see the movements of the Mongolian army, and it was also very convenient to set up ambushes.
Li Xia also had some understanding of the contents of "The Art of War" written by Fang Yankai.
"The one who wins the temple without fighting has to be considered the winner."
Therefore, even if he was attacking the remaining soldiers, he would first occupy a high place and prepare logs and rolling stones.
He stood there silently, calculating the distance, and watched Nige and others leading their horses out of the forest.
"Do it."
The soldiers shouted and pushed down the hammer.
The sound of "rumbling" sounded, and soon came the exclamation.
Then came the screams...
Li Xia looked at this scene, and what he was thinking about was "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
He used to think that these classical Chinese texts were difficult to understand and could not say much in a few sentences, so he thought that the military books might not be useful. However, after Fang Yankai explained them, he found that they actually clearly explained the principles and framework of war.
After personally visiting the battlefield and combining his experience with these, Li Xia felt a sense of enlightenment.
With a "bang" sound, the wood hit Nige's head, and he roared with unwillingness and anger.
Li Xia looked at Nige, thinking about what "win first and then fight" meant.
The cries of the Mongolian soldiers at the foot of the mountain continued, which became the confirmation of the war in Li Xia's mind.
"If you calculate too much, you will win if you calculate too little, but what's more, if you don't calculate, you will win. If you look at it this way, you can see the outcome..."
In the distance, cavalrymen rushed to the camp on the east bank of Fujiang River.
"Is Lieutenant Li here?! General Zhu Chengzhu of the Changning Army has something important to report to Lieutenant Li."
"The county lieutenant is slaughtering a pig on top, and he will kill the Mongolian army commander today..."
The next day, the atmosphere in Qingfu County finally became much more festive, and the whole city was celebrating for defeating the Mongolian army.
As for the six to seven hundred prisoners who were shot outside the county town, they were dead.
These people refused to move into the county seat, and most of them had no relatives in the county. Naturally, no one dared to question the county magistrate and the soldiers guarding the city for them.
The few who still remember them are Fang Yankai and the archers shooting arrows at the top of the city...
The vast majority of people in Qingfu County were lucky enough to survive.
Li Xia's reputation seems to have suddenly changed.
In the past, the saying "the new county captain is too young and defected to the traitor" is rarely mentioned openly. People everywhere praise the new county captain for how well he protects the local people and protects the people.
Han Qiao'er was extremely nervous about this, but Han Qi'an even teased her, saying, "After this battle, Alang is in the limelight. I'm afraid that some of the young ladies in Baiyan Village might be willing to be his concubines..."
With this sentence, Han Qiaoer immediately became alarmed and said, "Sister Gao is not here, so I have to look out for her."
Although she is still young, as a woman, she has keenly felt a certain dangerous atmosphere...
"I heard that Lieutenant Li is not married yet, right?"
"What are you thinking? If you come from Lin'an Mansion, you must have already been engaged to a wealthy family."
"It would be nice to be a concubine..."
Yan Yunyun walked through the corridor and heard several maids gathering together and muttering.
She sneered in her heart, recalling the scene when she met Li Xia that day, and secretly wondered how those people would be interested in these ugly and rough-and-tumble girls.
"He didn't even take a second look at my figure and appearance."
Muttering like this, she couldn't help but think about Li Xia.
At the age of sixteen, he became an official and held the power of a county. He had a backer and ability, and his future was bound to be limitless... After seeing him once, how should he climb up?
It would be nice if we could sleep together...
But such young talents are often surrounded by their wives who come from high families. Those young ladies may seem dignified and kind, but in fact they are powerful. They are often assisted by vicious old ladies, and it is very easy to kill the bitches outside with a stick.
Yan Yunyun had seen this kind of thing too many times, so sleeping on it was not the best idea.
It would be best if she could find a job under his sect, train the dancing girl, and entertain guests. In the future, he would become a powerful person, and she would be able to become a chicken and a dog and ascend to heaven.
Wouldn’t it be better for a newly wealthy person to live in a broken household like the Zhang family?
These thoughts are just random thoughts for a while, not a plan.
Yan Yunyun walked through the corridor and saw Zhang Shifei, the eldest son of the Zhang family.
"Master Yan, what a coincidence?"
"The slave family has met Da Lang."
Zhang Shifei was obviously waiting for her, and he stared at her as soon as they met.
He had seen many beautiful and beautiful courtesans in Chengdu in the past, but since arriving in a small place like Qingfu County, he had not seen such charming and charming women as Yan Yunyun for a long time.
At this time, he prided himself on being polite, but there was already a hungry look in his eyes.
"There is no need to be polite, Yan. Since the Mongolian army has retreated, we plan to set off back to Jiuqu Garden tomorrow and come here to say hello to you. By the way, we are staying at Yuan's house these days, so you can squeeze in with the maids.
Chu, I really feel wronged to you."
"The slave family dare not feel wronged. I am very grateful to be taken in by the Zhang family and the Yuan family."
Yan Yunyun glanced at Zhang Shifei shyly and said: "The county defeated the Mongolian army, and it coincides with the New Year. I wonder if there will be a celebration? The slave family would like to present a song and dance to show their gratitude."
Zhang Shifei was fascinated by this sight.
He didn't care about gratitude, all he thought about was that Yan Yunyun in front of him could play with money.
Recently, he has been crowded in Yuan's house. He is crowded with his parents, wife and children every day. Yan Yunyun is also crowded with other maids. If he can't find a chance, he should go back to Jiuqu Garden as soon as possible.
"When we get back to Jiuqu Garden, I will discuss this with the county magistrate in detail. By the way, I have many things I want to ask Mr. Yan for advice after I get back."
Yan Yunyun sneered in his heart: "I just met your father, and he said the same thing. You and your son can learn from each other."
But there was a smile on her face, and she said: "I should have listened to Da Lang's arrangements, but it's not good for the slave family to always live under someone else's roof. Now that I have washed my hands and feet, I plan to use my savings to buy a small house in Qingfu County..."
Zhang Shifei heard what Yan Yunyun meant.
He was in a bit of a dilemma. Although his father was rich, he himself was short of money...
Fortunately, the next moment a maid came over to relieve the siege, saying that it was Zhang Yuanming who called him over.
Zhang Shifei rushed to the guest room and saw that Zhang Shizhuo had arrived and Zhang Yuanming was pacing back and forth.
"I met my father."
"The county government refuses to let us leave the city tomorrow."
"Why? Didn't the Mongolian army retreat two days ago, and was defeated yesterday?"
Zhang Yuanming sneered and said: "It must be the guy named Li who wants to eat up the thousand shi of food we have in the county."
"He is delusional! He should also be taught to spit out the three thousand stones he swallowed!"
"It is impossible to let go with him." Zhang Yuanming said: "But how to deal with him must be considered in the long term. Tomorrow, we will transport a thousand stones of grain back to Jiuqu Garden..."
By the Qixian Lake, Jiuqu Garden.
Li Xia walked into the lobby with him, and saw Chang Ning Jun named "Zhu Cheng" preparing to sit down in the lobby to bandage his wounds.
The two met once in Guancheng, the governor of Junlian Prefecture, but they didn't talk much at that time. Zhu Chengcheng led the troops to chase A Shu, so they didn't know each other well.
"Blessings General."
"Li County Lieutenant, we meet again." Zhu Cheng stood up, clasped his fists, and said: "Hey, I just wanted to ask about the situation in Qingfu County, so I sent a detective horse to check it out. I didn't expect that County Lieutenant Li came over in person.
, you’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
Li Xia also clasped his fists and asked, "General Zhu is injured? Is it important?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I accidentally got hit by an arrow from the dog Tatar. Lieutenant Li, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, ah, I almost forgot, the chair... Lieutenant Li, please do this... Let's talk about the Qingfu
How is the county's prevention?"
The two sat and talked, and Li Xia briefly explained the situation in Qingfu County.
Zhu Cheng high-fived and said, "Okay. Lieutenant Li is a hero!"
He bowed his hands in shame, and then said: "Commander Yi led his army to support Luzhou. The south bank of the river is not well defended. I should have gone to support you, but I brought 600 people here. I just bypassed Qixian Lake and encountered an enemy.
When a Mongolian army arrived, they fought and retreated, so they had to stay here to confront the Mongolian army."
"How many people are there in the Mongolian army?"
"The Red Army of Tanma must be between five and six hundred, and there are more than a thousand servants and prisoners."
"Isn't it easy to guard?"
Zhu Cheng laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I just didn't bring much food and grass... Haha, I didn't expect Lieutenant Li to have defeated the enemy in the west, so we'll just retreat and fight at the same time."
Li Xia said: "It's better to retreat to the west, the terrain is more favorable."
Zhu Cheng glanced at the lobby and said: "This garden can be used just right. Let the Mongolian army come in and burn it with fire..."
