The Wuchi Road winds to the Yunnan region, and a section on both sides of the "Kedu River" is called the "Kedu Pass Post Road" and is located in Yangliu Town, Xuanwei City in later generations.
Kedu Pass is located south of Kedu River, a dangerous pass on the post road, and is known as "the key to Yunnan and Guizhou" and "the first pass into Yunnan".
Zhuge Liang stationed his troops here when he was conquering the south.
I first thought that Li Xia would continue to escape after passing Kedu Pass, but I didn't expect that Li Xia would actually be stationed in Guancheng.
Then of course we have to attack Guancheng.
However, the road before crossing the pass was narrow, no more than six feet, and the Mongolian army could not set up a position. In the first two days, they only drove the mountain people to attack Guancheng, but failed to capture it.
However, Ye Xian saw Li Xia's determination to defend the pass through such a tentative attack.
He was very confused about this and didn't understand what the Song general was thinking... After all, this was still within the territory of Dali, so how could the Song army guard it for a long time.
Although he felt strange, he still recruited soldiers from the Momi tribe and the Luopo tribe from the south and southwest respectively, and prepared to attack the pass by force.
…
On Guancheng, several generals under Li Xia were also very puzzled.
Unlike Gao Changshou, they were more inclined to return to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible, so they didn't quite understand why they had to guard the border accordingly.
Bao San first raised a question.
"Didn't the county lieutenant say that there is no point in consuming the Mongolian army in Dali?"
Li Xia nodded and said: "I'm calling you for discussion today because I want you to know that going north from here is no longer within the territory of Dali. You can regard it as...the territory of Song Dynasty."
"Songjing?"
All the generals were stunned.
"That's right." Li Xia said: "The people behind you were called Wusa tribe and Wumeng tribe in the past, and will be called Weining and Zhaotong in the future. They are all the lands of the Song Dynasty, and they are also owned by the Song Dynasty on the map."
Wu Ang asked: "In peacetime, the Usa tribe...Weining is the land of Jisi, but it was surrendered to Dali a hundred years ago."
"Now that Dali has been destroyed, it is time for it to return to the Song Dynasty."
"Can……"
Wu Ang still wanted to speak, but Bao San pulled him and whispered: "The county captain is going to be the commander-in-chief of Shu."
"Yes." Wu Ang responded and said: "I understand the ambition of the county captain, but...the land of Jisi, especially tribes like Wusa and Wumeng, have never listened to the imperial court's orders. This is the Song Dynasty.
, in fact, it is simply a barbaric land. Previously when Wu Liang Hetai attacked Shu, he entered through the Wumeng tribe, and there was no obstruction along the way, which can be seen from this."
Bao Sandao: "County Lieutenant, I know my ambition as a County Lieutenant, and I am not afraid of war. What I'm worried about is that we can defend the pass for a while, but there is no support and no supplies here, so I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it for a long time."
Li Xia was not in a hurry to answer and asked again: "Who still has doubts?"
Mao Yi'er and Yu Tian looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
Huhu and Xiong Shan were too lazy to think about this. In short, they would do whatever Li Xia told them to do.
Song He always talked little, so Yu Bing thought for a while and said, "Young people also have this worry. But crossing the pass is too far from Qingfu County, and there are difficult roads like the Five Feet Road all the way, but it is far from Dali.
too close."
Yu Bing's words hit the point, and all the generals nodded.
In fact, Kedu Pass is called "the key to Yunnan and Guizhou" and "the first pass into Yunnan", which refers to the fact that this is the pass city in Yunnan that guards the enemies in the north.
However, Li Xia wanted to use this pass to guard the enemy coming from the south, so his subordinates had to be confused.
"I know you are not timid..."
"Yes! The little people follow the county captain to kill the enemy. They are never defeated and never timid in battle!" Yu Bing shouted.
Li Xia raised his hand and waved, and said: "The problem you are worried about is that the pass is close to Dali, and the north is full of mountain tribes, not the province governed by the Song Dynasty. The city is alone to face the enemy, with no supplies and no support. Is that right?
?”
"right."
The term "mountain tribe" used by Li Xia is quite special. Others would usually refer to it as "barbarians".
However, it is from this word that some people have realized the difference between Li Xia's treatment of Wumeng, Wusa and other tribes.
Xiong Shan was slightly in a trance. He looked at Asha Yu behind Li Xia and seemed to realize something.
"Then what we have to do is to make Kedu Pass no longer an isolated city. To put it simply, we have to win the support of the mountain tribes north of Guancheng..."
Li Xia obviously did not set Kedu Pass as the border with the Mongolian Dali regime on a whim, but had already prepared for it.
"Let's talk about the Wusa tribe first. The Wusa tribe is a tribe of the Yi people. There are also a large number of Miao people mixed there and in the mountains further north. The Wusa tribe is one of the thirty-seven Wuman tribes and once supported the founding of Dali...
The current leader of the Usa Tribe is called 'Debu Ale', let's call him 'Ale'. A long time ago, his father was cowardly and incompetent. He was besieged by the five coalition forces led by Shuixi West and was defeated. With 'Usa'
The humiliation of Sa holding the horse for others and Usha carrying the burden for others.
At that time, the infant Al was abandoned in the wild, and the tribesmen found him and adopted him. When he grew up, he defeated the five coalition armies and revitalized the Uzzah tribe.
Now Ale is also old and is planning to pass the leadership position to his son Leyu. When the Mongols destroyed Dali, the father and son refused to surrender and followed the Gao family to fight against the Mongols.
Last year, Wu Liang joined forces to attack Shu. He passed by the Usa Tribe, occupied its walls, and killed its people. Therefore, the Usa Tribe and the Mongols also had a deep hatred before. However, this kind of hatred will be feared... or helplessly.
engulfed.
If we do nothing and leave Ussa, Wumeng, and these mountain tribes alone, sooner or later they will become vassals of Mongolia..."
In fact, none of the generals understood it very well.
But they already roughly knew that what Li Xia wanted to do was to conquer the various tribes in Zhaotong and Weining, let these tribes support them in guarding the pass, and then turn this area into a real territory.
It is enough for them to know this.
"County Lieutenant, I understand."
"Just understand." Li Xia said: "In the next few days, I want you to guard Guancheng. I will go to the Usa tribe and bring supplies and reinforcements."
"We will fight to the death to guard the pass and never let the Mongols go further north."
"Remember, don't think of what's behind you as a barbaric land. This is our new territory..."
~~
Gao Changshou was always looking at Li Xia.
When all the generals had left, he still didn't look away.
"Muru, what do you think I'm doing?"
Gao Changshou raised his hand, pointed at Asha Yu behind Li Xia, and quickly retracted his hand.
He was actually a little afraid of this Miao witch.
To be honest, Gao Changshou has always believed that the reason why Dali worships Buddhism may be because there are too many races and gods and ghosts under its rule, and they need to be unified by Buddhism.
Of course, this was just his childhood imagination.
"Can I have a few words with Feiyu alone?" Gao Changshou asked Asha.
Asha did not speak, and there was still a dead silence.
Li Xia said: "Just say what you want to say. She is my believer and I can trust her."
"When did Feiyu start planning this?"
"Um?"
"Territory." Gao Changshou said: "I recall that you mentioned the 'territory' matter when we were in the north. Recently, I see you acting like you have been planning this for a long time. Including the person next to you... Aunt Tongsi
.Is it used to subdue the Miao people?"
"Let me tell you the truth." Li Xia said: "I am Pluto, reincarnated here to save Cangshan from the iron heel of Mongolia."
Gao Changshou frowned.
This is why he wants to get rid of Asha.
He had something very important to talk to Li Xia about, but as long as Miao Wu was around, Li Xia would always talk about this "Pluto".
"I'm asking about your ambitions, not something like 'Pluto'." Gao Changshou said: "I don't believe in Pluto..."
Before he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke sprayed on Gao Changshou's face. He rolled his eyes and became drowsy.
"You again..."
"Asha, stop. Muru and I have serious business to discuss."
Asha Yao obviously didn't care about this. She opened her mouth and said lightly: "The only thing not allowed is not believing in Hades."
Li Xia smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Next when we get to Miao Village, it would be great if you could make others so pious..."
