The military camp covers an area of more than 300 acres, with large tents stretching out one after another.
On the school field, a general named "Li Zeyi" looked back and saw rows of Song troops standing with spears in hand.
The Wang family surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
This is what we knew a few days ago. The 40,000-strong army was annihilated, and the Song army captured Gongchang with lightning speed.
Just surrender, Li Zeyi believes in the Wang family's judgment of the situation.
His grandfather's name was "Li Jie". As early as when the Jin Kingdom was still there, Li Jie was already a general under Wang Shixian. Later, he served as the governor of General Gongchang's Mansion.
This is true for our ancestors, and so is our father's generation. When Wang Dechen was the commander-in-chief, Li Jie's eldest son, Li Tingyu, was also the governor of the commander-in-chief's office.
When it comes to her grandchildren, Li Zeyi still looks after the Wang family.
Whether it is Mongolian or Song, it is just that someone in the Wang family will pay tribute and pay taxes, and the Wang family will continue to allow them to live in the local area...
The next moment, Wang Zhongchen raised his hand and pointed at Qianhu Zhao Bing.
"Zhao Bing was once ordered to follow Kuoduan to massacre Shu..."
"puff."
Li Zeyi was stunned, looking at Zhao Bing's body lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and then he tried to struggle, but a soldier from Song rushed forward and held him down.
"What are you doing?!"
"We agreed to surrender!"
"..."
Amid the shouts, Li Zeyi understood that this time of joining was different from the past.
The Song army wanted to take responsibility for the past massacre of Shu, so Wang Zhongchen abandoned the subordinates who had followed the Wang family for three generations for his own benefit.
This is no longer the time when Wang Shixian was alive.
This is betrayal and betrayal!
He raised his head and looked at Wang Zhongchen, who was standing on the general stage, and saw that he was still pointing at his fellow generals one by one.
"Li Tingtong..."
Li Zeyi was shocked when she heard this, and in her eyes, she saw his third uncle falling straight to the ground.
"Third uncle!"
A wave of anger surged through her forehead, and Li Zeyi's eyes were split open. She clenched her fists and wanted to rush forward to kill Wang Zhongchen, but Song Jun held her down tightly.
"Wang Zhongchen! What are you doing?!"
Li Zeyi wanted to eat Wang Zhongchen's flesh and cursed loudly.
"Wang Zhongchen! My grandfather followed your father for the first time, and my eldest and second uncles died for your Wang family. How dare you kill my third uncle! How dare you!"
Wang Zhongchen seemed not to hear it, but after a while, he actually raised his hand and pointed at Li Zeyi.
Li Zeyi was angry, shocked and frightened, and shouted: "Wang Zhongchen! I have never been to Sichuan..."
"Li Zeyi." Wang Zhongchen said: "Li Tingtong's nephew must be implicated."
Li Zeyi was filled with fear. Seeing that Song's soldiers were about to stab him with spears, she knew she was going to die and was in a state of confusion.
However, there was a moment when he saw the spear stopped and the soldier holding the spear looked back.
Li Zeyi thought about it, and in her peripheral vision, she saw many generals kneeling down.
Looking towards the general platform again, he finally noticed that the commander-in-chief of the Song Army was looking at him with scrutiny in his eyes.
As long as the other party nods, his life is gone.
"Commander Li, spare your life!" Li Zeyi shouted: "I am willing to work hard for the commander!"
He struggled, but he struggled to kneel down.
"Commander, spare your life... spare your life..."
Sweat was forming on his forehead. After a while, Li Zeyi realized that the soldier holding the spear did not stab him, but instead picked up the rope and tied him up.
There was blood everywhere on the school ground, but he was picked up and thrown into a tent.
In the distance, shouts and shouts could be heard. It was obviously the Song army and Wang Zhongchen who were receiving the soldiers.
It wasn't until nightfall that soldiers came and took him out.
Looking over, I saw someone holding down a general in the Chinese army's tent, and then... beheading him.
"Li Zeyi, grandson of Li Jie, son of Li Tingxiu..."
Li Xia held a booklet and murmured, asking: "Li Tingyu, who are you, Li Tingwang?"
"It's my uncle, my second uncle..."
Li Xia said: "They died in my hands, as well as your third uncle. It seems that you and I are determined to die."
Li Zeyi was startled, thinking of the corpse outside the tent, and quickly fell down.
"No. Please tell me, Commander-in-Chief, uncle, my second uncle was defeated and died in the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, how can I dare to complain? As for the third uncle, he was betrayed by Wang Zhongchen... and... the Mongolian army slaughtered tens of millions of people in Shu, Commander-in-Chief
I would never dare to hold any grudge against you for killing your third uncle."
"Really?"
"Really! Please give me a chance, the commander-in-chief. I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"
"You want to live?"
"I'm not afraid of death, but...but I don't want to die like this..."
Li Xia asked again: "What does this look like?"
"Betrayed... I will die a useless death..."
"This time, Wang Zhongchen asked you to join us, and it ended up in this situation. Are you convinced?"
Li Zeyi hesitated for a moment.
Li Xia said: "Yes, if you are not convinced, you will not be convinced after a fight without real swords and guns."
"I'm convinced." Li Zeyi lowered her head and said, "The commander-in-chief has taken Gong Chang, and I... don't dare to challenge him."
"Well, your father has always been in poor health and has never joined the army. He is a scholar. Also, your son is three years old?"
Li Zeyi trembled and her expression changed dramatically.
Li Xia said: "Don't be afraid. I didn't touch your wife, children, and parents. They are still very good. I went to Gongchang and directly attacked the Wang family's mansion, but it did not affect your home. I ask you, just to see what they think about you.
Portion size.”
"Commander, please don't..."
"I told you, don't be afraid. Even if I want to kill you, I won't touch your children. I promise you this."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your kindness! Please Commander-in-Chief, please believe that I will join you sincerely!"
Li Xia looked at Li Zeyi again for a long time, and finally said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it in two months. You can stay calmly... take her with you."
As far as Li Xia was concerned, among the captured generals, those who refused to obey would be killed, but those who sincerely surrendered were willing to surrender.
But Li Zeyi is special. She made a grudge but expressed her intention to surrender...
After thinking about it, there was no need to take the risk. There were only two hundred people under his command.
The reason why we don't kill is because the hatred should not be expanded any more. The more people we kill, the more hatred will only increase.
After destroying the Wang family's prestige, Li Xia must start to establish his own.
…
In the next ten days or so, Li Xia was busy setting up defenses and organizing two things.
He separated the eight thousand elites and ordered Bao San to lead 2,000 people to guard Tianshui, and Xiong Shan to lead 2,000 people to guard the street pavilions. One thousand elites stayed with him to provide support at any time.
After that, Li Xia replaced the generals in various states and counties and sent a thousand elite troops to lead the garrison in various places. These garrison troops had average combat power and were dispersed into the Song army. There was no need to worry about changes, and they only served to stabilize order.
The most troublesome people are the 3,000 people from Gongchang and the 4,000 people from Lintao. These are the original main forces in Longxi. But now that they have surrendered, they can be reorganized with a little effort.
Li Xia killed many generals, and killed, imprisoned, or drove the close soldiers of these generals into labor. In the end, more than 5,000 soldiers were left and scattered, and he was reorganized with 2,000 elite soldiers.
In this way, although it is not considered as a commanding force, it can still increase the number of 5,000 troops.
During this process, what he was most worried about was that someone would rebel and release 50,000 Mongolian prisoners.
Wang Liangchen originally planned to wait for Kublai Khan to send people to surrender them, so he only tied the people up, provided them with food and grass, and left them half full.
After much thought, Li Xia dispatched three thousand people to escort these Mongolian prisoners to Chengdu, where they were driven by Zhang Jue as laborers.
These 50,000 captives are ferocious beasts after all, and Li Xia does not dare to take them in for the time being. It is not because they are "not of my kind", but because Brother Ali and Kublai Khan are still too strong. In comparison, Li Xia's strength
If it is too weak, it will be difficult to get them to focus.
After completing these tasks, we can finally establish ourselves in Longxi.
On the tenth day of June, Li Xia returned to the town of Gongchang. After arranging defenses, he asked people to bring Wang Zhongchen up.
"You have done what you should do. I will send someone to escort the Wang family to Lin'an today."
Li Xia was approving the document without raising his head, and said again: "The reputation of three generations of the Wang family guarding Longxi has been ruined because of you. But that's exactly what it is. It's meaningless for me to use or kill your family anymore. You can rest assured.
.”
"Yes." Wang Zhongchen understood this.
"Send them to the east city gate and then be tortured. Someone will send your head to Chengdu to worship the souls of the dead."
Wang Zhongchen's eyes were a little sad, and his face looked like he didn't care about life and death and only cared about Li Xia.
"Speaking of sacrifices...the benefactor has not yet come to the Li Family Dragon Palace to offer sacrifices."
"I will go, you don't need to worry about it."
Wang Zhongchen said: "When a person is about to die, his words are also kind. The sinner wants to give his last advice to his benefactor. Since he has the intention of seeking the world, he should first rectify his name..."
"Wang Zhongchen, you want to live, right?"
Li Xia interrupted, raised his head, and said, "I know you are useful. But I might as well tell you what I think."
Wang Zhongchen saluted and looked like he was listening.
He knew that only by refuting Li Xia's ideas could he find a way to survive. If he followed Li Xia alive, he might be able to find a way forward for the Wang family.
"Use your head to comfort the hearts of millions of people in Sichuan and Sichuan. Every household has relatives and friends who have lost their lives under your butcher knives. Tell me, is your life worth the hearts of millions of people?"
Li Xia didn't wait for Wang Zhongchen to answer, and then said: "As for Longxi, I have made it clear to the soldiers, the people, and the soldiers that I do not want to go on a killing spree when I take Longxi. The troops and horses passing through the border will not commit any crime, but they will pursue the crimes of those who massacred Shu. Recently, there have been so many beheadings.
I have many generals but I won’t kill you, do you want me to break my promise?”
"Sinners don't dare, sinners just see that their benefactor does everything by one person..."
"If you don't die, my name will not be upright."
Li Xia said the last sentence, waved his hand and said: "Detain him."
Wang Zhongchen was stunned.
He thought that he and Li Xia were getting along well these days, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless.
Two hours later, a head was hung on the Weiyuan Tower.
"Now that my royal army has entered Longxi, we will only punish those who committed the massacre of Shu!"
As the bell rang, someone shouted loudly.
"The sinner is dead, the hatred is gone, and the whole world can live and work in peace and contentment!"
Notices were posted on the long street.
“Live and work in peace and contentment!”
"..."
Li Zeyi stood on the street and looked at it for a long time, then sighed...
After he was captured, Li Xia neither appointed him as a general nor pursued him again.
They only asked people to take him back to Gongchang, and then let him go home.
After Li Zeyi returned home, she was at a loss when she saw that her parents, wife and children were all well.
He vaguely knew that Li Xia was testing him to see if he would flee with his family.
Where did they flee to? The soldiers were scattered and I don’t know where they were transferred;
The father is sick, the son is only three years old, and the mother and wife are misbegotten, how far can we go?
If you don't leave and stay in Gongchang City, how will you support your family in Hukou in the future?
Are you waiting for the Mongolian army to regain Gongchang?
Can you wait?
have no idea……
Do you hate Li Xia?
Li Xia came with the hatred of thousands of people, defeated Gongchang and took the Wang family directly, pacified the people, recruited soldiers to surrender, and only punished the generals who had entered Shu and the unruly people in the army.
Regardless of their strength, these actions can be called upright.
"Live and work in peace and contentment."
Li Zeyi murmured along with the crowd, thinking that he wanted to make a living after all, so he planned to defect to Li Xia, but he hesitated again because he thought that if the Mongolian army came to recapture Gongchang.
"No matter what, how can a man be so indecisive!"
He muttered to himself and strode towards the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion again.
"Li Zeyi, the criminal general, please serve the commander-in-chief's army and be willing to serve as a soldier..."
"Lu Xiaoyou."
"The end will be here."
"This soldier will be yours first."
"yes!"
Li Xia turned around and was about to leave. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said to Li Zeyi again: "Don't rush to ask for your original military power. Let me see your loyalty and ability before we talk. Go ahead."
Over there, Liu Jinsuo was coming to report on military affairs. Seeing this scene, he chuckled.
"What are you laughing at? Let me tell you in class."
"Yes!" Liu Jinsuo followed up with a big stride and said, "I thought of Yang Ben. I can wait until the subordinate general wins a few more games with the commander before I can use it with confidence."
"Um."
"Commander, if you say that the grudges have been resolved, it is too easy for the Wang family. Tens of millions of people in Sichuan and Shu have died..."
Li Xia stopped, glanced at Weiyuan Tower, and murmured: "Do you know what makes me feel most ashamed?"
Liu Jinsuo was stunned and murmured: "What?"
"It could have been avoided, it was not difficult to avoid. When Kuoduan entered Sichuan, the Mongolian army not only had this group of troops, but Jinghu faced the main force of the Mongolian army. Why did Jinghu not suffer this tragic disaster like Sichuan and Shu? Because
The Communist Party of Bangladesh is trying to turn the tide.
Did the prince of the North just want to massacre the city? How many people did Yao Shu save during the Battle of Jinghu? Wang Shixian was able to bury Cao Youwen generously and escort books, so was he just a butcher? But the compassion of these northerners alone was not enough.
People have to strive for their own success.
Is it difficult to live up to expectations? Is the Mongolian army very strong? Or the Mongolian army attacking Shu is much stronger than the Mongolian army attacking Jinghu? As the head coach of the Mongolian Communist Party, they severely defeated the Mongolian army, transferred to Sichuan and Shu, and could drive away the enemy in one battle!
But look at how those battles between Sichuan and Sichuan were fought back then. Wang Shixian wanted to surrender but was unable to do so. Cao Youwen was forced to fight in the field, isolated and helpless. When the Mongolian army came to kill him, Zhao Yanna led the Chengdu garrison and fled without making a single move.
Who put the lives of tens of millions of people in Sichuan and Sichuan under the butcher knife of the Mongolian army? The most shameful thing is that if Wang Shixian is replaced by another person, I am afraid that he will still help the Mongolian army enter Sichuan and slaughter. Because the people of Sichuan and Sichuan pay grain taxes
They paid taxes and served a court that failed to protect them at all.
Before you think about grudges, please remember the shame of the Song Dynasty military robes we are wearing."
Liu Jinsuo was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Commander, I..."
"Did you listen? Then tell the sergeants in private that your commander wants to clear away these shames."
"Yeah." Liu Jinsuo nodded vigorously.
"Tell them that the current commander-in-chief of Shu is not Zhao Yanna, and he can do better than the Meng Communists."
"clear!"
At this time, the two of them had entered the lobby. Li Xia spread out the map and said, "Tell me."
"Yes!" Liu Jinsuo pointed forward and said, "Bao San sent a message and Liu Heima deployed his troops outside the Weihe River Valley, but he did not advance."
"You haven't marched into Longxi yet? Do you want to lure me into the wild field in Guanzhong?" Li Xia muttered to himself.
"I don't know!"
"I didn't ask you..."
"Also, an envoy from Guanzhong is here and wants to see the commander-in-chief."
"messenger?"
"Yes, Bao San asked the commander if he would let the envoy pass the checkpoint..."
Li Xia looked at the map alone for a long time.
"You haven't come yet? Messenger?"
Afterwards, Li Xia opened the drawer and took out the letters written by Lian Xixian to Wang Zhongchen, reading them one by one.
From planning Guanzhong to this moment, in terms of strategy, Li Xia's preparations half a year in advance actually suppressed the enemy's generals and counselors.
Now I gradually feel that Lian Xixian is not simple.
"To what extent?"
Li Xia thought.
Among the people I meet today, Jia Sidao can be regarded as the best in terms of strategy.
And Jia Sidao is better at power planning than military strategy... and he has a fatal flaw. He always likes to control others by giving favors, and when things go wrong, he becomes jealous, excludes, and makes too many enemies.
Common mistakes made by smart people.
But I don’t know how Lian Xixian is better than Jia Sidao...
