He knew where the Fanyin Tower was in the mansion. From the gate to the Fanyin Tower, one had to pass through a narrow corridor. The bluestone road was sandwiched between two high walls, allowing only two people to pass side by side.
So, he also understood what Li Xia wanted to do when he called Meng Ren over.
Sure enough, soon, painful screams and angry curses were heard in the distance.
Just by hearing this sound, Duan Xingzhi could imagine the scene of more than ten strong Mongolians being blocked in a small corridor and being slaughtered.
After a long time, Li Xia returned to the lobby again, holding a head in his hand and placing it casually in front of Duan Xingzhi.
"Tell me, who is he?"
The blood gathered little by little on the table and flowed to the edge.
The human face on the head still had a very clear expression, glaring with anger, as if it was about to pounce at any time. This man was obviously very angry before he died.
Anyone who is attacked by surprise will not be in a good mood.
Although Duan Xingzhi had expected it, he was still shocked and murmured: "This, this..."
"Tell me, who is he?"
Duan Xingzhi resisted the urge to vomit and said: "Xi Rigou Rige, the chief of guard under the Oru officer."
Li Xia didn't care about the dead, but more about the living, so he asked: "Who is Official Oru?"
"Gedu."
Li Xia asked again: "Where does he live? How many troops are there at his residence?"
Duan Xingzhi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
Hearing what Li Xia said, he actually wanted to come and kill Gedu too?
"Li... Lieutenant Li, I am not disobedient, but can you allow me to say a few words?"
"no."
Duan Xingzhi turned his head, trying not to look at the head on the case or Li Xia's face, and murmured to himself: "I am very familiar with this situation. Back then, when Gao Taixiang controlled the government, he killed the Mongolian envoy in front of me.
Sir, blood is flowing into the main hall, but the result will be..."
"puff."
"Ah!" Duan Xingzhi screamed, his eyes widened, and he saw that a long sword had been pierced into his thigh.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Huiyuan had tears in her eyes and was very distressed.
"Answer my question, don't say useless things." Li Xia said.
"Okay, okay. Gedu lives... outside the city, in the north of the city. He has five hundred people, including nearly a hundred Mongols..."
"Outside the city?"
"Yes, he doesn't like cities... he likes to live in yurts, saying... he says they are 'vast'."
Li Xia frowned, a little surprised.
After counting the time, Gedu saw the fire in the south of the city and sent people into the city to ask Duan Xingzhi. In the middle of the night, he acted very quickly.
From this point, we can see that the style of the Mongolian people is completely different from that of the Dali soldiers.
In the more than 300 years since the founding of Dali, it had hardly experienced any major wars. Its soldiers and generals were scattered and far inferior to those of the Song army. However, the Mongols were different and had very strong mobility.
Li Xia was not willing to fight the Mongolian army when he was not completely sure, or did not arrange an ambush in advance.
Duan Xingzhi saw that he was beginning to meditate, enduring the pain and fear, and said: "I really...do it for our own good...Don't imitate Gao Taixiang...You don't know how scary it is to deceive people..."
"I know, so I plan to run away."
Duan Xingzhi was stunned again, unable to figure out what Li Xia was thinking. He
After thinking for a while, he gradually came to understand... Li Xia had a preconception in his mind that the Mongolian troops would be able to take action if they had a certain number of troops. If they exceeded that number, they would not take action.
Although it is a very simple thing, it is not easy to do.
This requires clear insight and thinking about the situation, an extremely calm attitude, and sufficient confidence in one's own judgment.
It is especially difficult for young people to do this.
In Duan Xingzhi's opinion, this is what is truly terrifying about Li Xia...
The sky is slightly bright.
Duan Xingzhi sent someone to Qianhu Station in the north of the city to explain to Oulu what happened last night.
"Reporting to Oru, there was a camp roar at Qianhu in the south of the city last night, which caused two hundred Song army prisoners to escape and fled to Cangshan Mountain in the west."
Gedu asked: "Where are the people I sent to the city to meet Duan Xingzhi? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"The general manager has met Xi Rigouge and asked him to help capture the prisoners in Cangshan Mountain. This... it is true that Marshal Du has deployed too many people and the general manager does not have enough troops."
"Damn it." Gedu scolded: "You Dali people can't handle anything. You always need Mongolian warriors to step forward. So what's the use of you?!"
"Please calm down Oulu, the manager will definitely deal with it as soon as possible."
Gedu did not completely believe Duan Xingzhi's words. He sneered and looked at the visitor, looking quite scary.
He had been in battle for a long time. As soon as he saw the light of the fire last night, he immediately ordered his soldiers to stand by. He not only sent people into the city to question Duan Xingzhi, but also sent detective horses to investigate.
After a while, Tan Ma came back and reported: "Oulu, the prisoners did escape to Cangshan Mountain. They even tried to rob Wuwei Temple, but were repelled by the guards. The guards saw a hundred or dozens of people..."
Gedu then nodded.
"Tell Duan Xingzhi to handle these matters within one day."
"yes……"
Dali General Administration Office.
"County Lieutenant, the grain and grass in Changpingcang in the east of the city have been verified."
"It's enough to take eight hundred stones. There is no need to take more."
Xiong Shan asked: "Have the rest been burned?"
Li Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Keep it...where are the mules, horses and peasants?"
"I have asked Duan Xingzhi to come forward and make arrangements. All the grain and grass can be transported out before evening."
"Have the people sent to see Gedu come back?"
"just came back."
"Bring it in."
Soon, Yang Ben escorted a Dali official into the hall.
Yang Ben raised his head, looking very proud.
In his opinion, Li Xia said he didn't need him, but when it came to something that the country folk couldn't handle, he still didn't need him.
Yang Ben spoke clearly and clearly, and quickly told the details of the Dali official's interview with Gedu.
"That means we still have one day to leave Dali City?"
"yes."
Li Xia nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go and guard outside the door and prepare to set off in the evening."
Yang Ben did not leave, but instead clasped his fists and said: "County Lieutenant, I observed Qianhusuo in the north of the city. The Mongolian army is not very strong. We may not be able to defeat them..."
Li Xia interrupted Yang Ben and asked, "What do you think is the most dangerous place on our trip?"
Yang Ben said: "The Mongolian army in Dali is empty of troops and the combat effectiveness of Dali soldiers is low. There is not much danger."
Li Xia said: "Your thoughts that pop up from time to time are the most dangerous. You only see one battle in front of you, and two battles can be won. But you forget that this is not the Song Dynasty. Once it is delayed, what will the Qingfu Army use to consume?"
Yang Ben was stunned and quickly retreated.
Li Xia rubbed his forehead.
The truth is not unreasonable. Li Xia had a lot to talk to Gao Nianfeng last night, but today Yang Ben had another idea. It is never easy to lead others.
…
After listening to too much advice, Li Xia would occasionally reflect on whether his strategic decision-making was wrong from the beginning.
Maybe you can really occupy Dali and become the king of Dali?
In the end, Li Xia became more and more convinced of his idea.
This was the case when he was learning fencing. There were all kinds of voices constantly interfering with him on the road to becoming a champion. Many people kept criticizing him and persuading him to do various other things.
Only a firm mind can break through these voices and move forward with determination...
Duan Xingzhi was led out to arrange various things, and then was thrown back into the main room.
He secretly calculated that only fifty people could enter Dali City and attack the General Manager's Mansion at most. It is likely that there are more than a hundred people still operating outside Dali City to attract the attention of the Mongols.
The Mongols probably didn't expect that Li Xia would dare to divide his troops when he only had 200 men.
Li Xia's courage is really not what ordinary people have.
This move seemed dangerous, but it bought him time for his activities in Dali City. Before the defenders could react, he quickly accomplished his goal and retreated.
What's even more frightening is that they all went to Dali City to capture the former Emperor of Dali. Anyone else would have wanted to control Dali.
Li Xia can still be so calm?
At such a young age and with such an ambition, he is simply not human.
Duan Xingzhi gradually understood that the reason why this small Song army was able to move back and forth in Dali was all because of Li Xia.
In addition, the little girl accompanying Li Xia looks familiar. Could she be Gao Taihe's daughter? If these two people really get married, they will definitely become Duan's confidant...
Duan Xingzhi thought about this and looked down at the wound on his leg.
He quietly moved his body and put his leg against the leg of the table. Soon, blood overflowed from the wound.
Duan Xingzhi groaned in pain, looked up at the bald man guarding him, and asked: "This strong man...can you help me change the dressing and bandage the wound? Look, the wound is bleeding again."
"Why are you so busy?"
"Strong man, I have weak bones and my wounds will really die if I don't take care of them properly." Duan Xingzhi said, "Keep me here to be useful to Lieutenant Li."
Xu Tuduo scratched his head and said, "Wait, I'll ask."
He looked around and saw that Duan Xingzhi and Zheng Huiyuan were tied up and could not escape, so he left the house to look for Xiong Shan.
Duan Xingzhi turned sideways and whispered in Yi: "Hui Niang."
"Mr. Lang, you have suffered."
"Hui Niang, listen to me... Although this house was once owned by Gao Taihe, I built a hidden compartment, and they don't know about it. There is a special way to open the hidden compartment. If you push it directly, there will be poisonous arrows.
Ejaculate."
Zheng Huiyuan asked: "What does Mr. Lang want me to do?"
"When Li Xia comes in, push away the hidden compartment and kill him."
