Zanbutai frowned, and then said harshly: "There are only 20,000 warriors. Since they dare to attack first, I will kill them and annihilate them! Humph, you can't blame me for this!" Looking at Duosang,
He ordered: "You stay here for me, I will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to support Roulang Mountain!" Zanbutai and others received the report from before Roulang Mountain fell, so Zanbutai and others did not receive the report yet.
I knew that Roulang Mountain had actually been captured by Yan Yun's army.
Duosang said with some worry: "Although there are only 20,000 warriors here, we must not be careless!" Zanbutai waved his hand, "I defended Roulang Mountain with twice the force, and it is impossible for the Yanyun Army to break through.
Yes! No matter how powerful Yan Yunjun is, he is still not a god!"
Immediately, Zanbutai rushed to the military camp, gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses, left Zhuoluo City, crossed the Kalo River, and headed to the Xishou Baotai Military Division in the east!
Unexpectedly, less than fifty miles away from Luochuan, defeated soldiers appeared in twos and threes, all cavalry. Zanbutai was extremely surprised, and immediately ordered people to stop the defeated soldiers and bring them over. When all the defeated soldiers saw Zanbutai, they
They all knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to the general!" Then an officer said urgently: "General, run away quickly, Yan Yun's cavalry is coming!" The other defeated soldiers nodded one after another, looking anxious.
Duosang was very angry when he heard the officer telling him to run away quickly. Then he heard him say that the Yan Yun Army was about to arrive, but he was shocked again and said in disbelief: "What are you talking about? How could the Yan Yun Army appear?"
Here!" Then he remembered something and asked urgently: "You are Hanon's subordinates, how come you are here? How is Roulang Mountain?"
The officer looked frightened and said, "Roulang Mountain has been captured!"
When Zanbutai suddenly heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He became panicked and at a loss. Zanbutai came to his senses and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! Yan Yunjun is not a god, how could he die so quickly?
Capture Roulang Mountain!" Then he frowned, looked at the defeated soldiers in front of him up and down, and asked with suspicion: "Are you spies sent by the Yanyun Army to disrupt the morale of our army?"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers around him immediately changed their expressions. Everyone held the handle of the scimitar and stared at the defeated soldiers with very unkind expressions. When the defeated soldiers heard this, they were startled and waved their hands.
They rushed to say that they were not spies, but Zanbutai felt more and more that they were Yan Yun's spies. He narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly: "Come on, arrest them all!"
All the soldiers agreed, swarmed up and captured all the defeated soldiers. Everyone had been holding back a bad feeling towards Yan Yun for a long time. As soon as they caught them, they punched and kicked them without mercy. It was pitiful that these defeated soldiers could not defend themselves.
, was beaten to a pulp by his own people.
"What is that?" someone suddenly shouted pointing into the distance.
The Tubo soldiers all looked in the direction of his finger. Those who were beating people stopped and turned their heads to look into the distance. A black line appeared on the horizon, and then the black line expanded rapidly, as if it had become a vast field.
A black torrent and a faint thunderous sound came at the same time. The Tibetan soldiers were all experienced in battles. They immediately realized that it was the sight and sound of a large group of cavalry rushing in. They couldn't help but feel surprised, because their own side was in
There are only a few thousand warriors on Roulang Mountain, so it is impossible to have such a scale and momentum.
Zanbutai's heart suddenly moved, and his expression changed. He realized that he had mistakenly blamed these defeated soldiers. They were indeed defeated soldiers, not Yan Yun's spies. What they just said was true! Zanbutai still didn't understand Roulang. How could the Shanjun stronghold be abandoned so quickly? However, the situation was urgent at this time and he could not allow him to think about it. He shouted: "The whole army is in formation, ready to fight!" All the soldiers came to their senses and realized it. Due to the seriousness of the situation, I couldn't help but become nervous and quickly formed a formation.
After a while, the cavalry arrived not far away and stopped. It was indeed the Yanyun War Cavalry! Nearly 20,000 war cavalry were arrayed there, as quiet as a forest, but containing endless murderous intent, as if a tower was accumulating energy at any time. It was like a volcano erupting. The Tubo army pursed their lips tightly and stared at the Yanyun army in front with wide eyes. Their formation had been arranged, with the shield bearers and spearmen outside, and the crossbowmen inside, waiting for the Yanyun army to fight. Ride into battle!
Suddenly, Yan Yun's army moved. Zan Bu Tai's expression moved and he shouted: "Get ready!" The shield hand held the shield in his hand tightly, the spearman held the spear in his hand tightly, the archer bent his bow to unload the arrow, and the crossbow hand was cocked. The arrows are loaded and ready to go.
However, Yanyun's cavalry did not charge towards the Tubo army formation, but bypassed it from one side and rushed towards the west.
Zanbutai's expression changed and he shouted: "No! They are going to raid Zhuoluo City!" Although there were nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Zhuoluo City, the soldiers and horses there were defenseless. Yan Yun's army suddenly appeared. There is a great possibility of breaking into the city in one fell swoop. If Zoluo City falls, the situation will be serious.
Zanbu was so panicked that he immediately ignored the formation and led his army to chase Yanyun's war cavalry. Yanyun's war cavalry ran in front, and the Tubo soldiers chased behind. More than two thousand cavalry ran in front, and the infantry ran in front. In the back, there was a mess, and the distance between the infantry and cavalry was quickly widened.
At this moment, the Yanyun warrior who was running wildly in front suddenly turned around and rushed toward him, with surging iron hooves and billowing smoke. Zanbutai was horrified when he saw this scene. He suddenly realized that he had committed a crime. What a big mistake! However, the situation has come to this point, and it is impossible to rearrange the formation. We can only bite the bullet and face it!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided violently. In an instant, there were shouts and screams, and the sound of weapons and weapons slashing. The Tubo cavalry were seen turning on their backs. The battle situation was one-sided from the beginning. In the flying cold light, the Tubo cavalry The casualties were heavy! How could the Tubo cavalry be the opponent of the Yanyun war cavalry? What's more, the vanguard of these Yanyun war cavalry was the most elite Xuanjia army in the Yanyun army. When the Tubo cavalry met the Xuanjia army, it was like meeting a tiger or wolf. They were like deer and sheep, with no room for resistance at all. They were killed one by one and fell into a pool of blood as if they were being slaughtered!
In the blink of an eye, two thousand Tubo war cavalry were killed by the Yan Yun war cavalry, causing heavy casualties and being defeated. The Yan Yun war cavalry did not make any stop, and continued to rush towards the Tubo infantry. The Tubo infantry was originally going to catch up to help their side. The cavalry besieged Yanyun's cavalry, but suddenly they saw their own cavalry scattered in the clouds, and Yanyun's cavalry rushed towards them. They were shocked and wanted to form a formation to resist, but there was no time!
There was only a loud rumble, and the torrential iron hooves crashed into the middle of the Tubo infantry. It was like a wave of wheat fields. The Tubo infantry fell one after another. Not to mention resisting the charge of Yanyun's cavalry, it was like a ball hit by a bowling ball. Like bottles, they fell to the ground one after another; the Yanyun War Cavalry moved forward indomitably, trampling with iron hooves, colliding with the war horses, flying the enemy with spears, and raising blood rain with the sword. The Yanyun War Cavalry, who had already killed red eyes, was boiling with blood and roaring like thunder.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Yun's war cavalry swept through the Tubo infantry, and they saw corpses strewn on the battlefield. The Tubo soldiers who escaped were like frightened birds.
Zhanjin Guole turned his horse and galloped back. Yanyun's cavalry also galloped back and charged towards the Tibetan infantry again. The Tibetan soldiers who had been killed were so frightened that they lost their helmets when they saw this scene.
Qi Jia ran in all directions, and the scene seemed to have exploded.
Seeing this scene, the Zhanjin Kingdom frowned, but did not order the cavalry to pursue them in all directions, but rushed straight to the west. The fleeing Tubo soldiers saw those terrible Yanyun war cavalry rolling westward, and they did not pursue them in the future.
He himself couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had just walked away from the gate of hell and came back; but Zanbutai looked at the back of Yanyun War Cavalry with a pale face, and murmured in his mouth: "It's over! It's over!
"After coming back to his senses, he quickly gathered the remaining soldiers and rushed towards Zhuoluo City, hoping it was not too late.
Hurrying and rushing slowly, I kept praying to the Buddha in my heart, praying that Duosang would discover the Yanyun army in time and resist the Yanyun army.
In the evening, we finally arrived at the east bank of the Garo River. We were shocked to see smoke billowing from the city of Zhuoluo on the west bank! The hearts of the Tibetan soldiers sank to the bottom of the valley, and they panicked and didn't know what to do. Zanbu didn't dare to stay here any longer.
He quickly led the remaining defeated generals under his command, crossed the Garo River from the upper reaches, and fled to the west. Along the way, he met many of his own soldiers who had escaped from Zhuoluo City. After asking about it, he found out that the defenders in Zhuoluo City were defenseless.
, Yan Yun's war cavalry rushed into the city in one fell swoop. The defenders hurriedly counterattacked, but were killed to pieces by the Xuanjia army. The 20,000 defenders were defeated and fled the city one after another. Those tiger-wolf Yan Yun
After the war cavalry defeated the Tibetan garrison, one part was left to occupy Zhuoluo City, while the main force led by the Kingdom of Zhan Jin continued to advance furiously.
Zanbutai no longer had any desire to compete with Yan Yun's army. He just wanted to flee back to his country and lead the remaining defeated soldiers towards the Snowy Mountains. Along the way, there were soldiers everywhere, and he kept praying in his heart: Buddha bless you, Yan Yun's army must not
Go to the Snowy Mountains! Buddha bless you, Yan Yunjun must not go to the Snowy Mountains!
The sight turned to Xiliang Mansion. Ao Daochong warmly entertained Li Tongren as Yanyun's envoy in the hall of Xiliang Mansion. There were singing and dancing in the middle of the hall, and the table was filled with fine wine and delicacies. All the party nobles and officials were there.
While drinking, everyone smiled and nodded, for fear of offending this distinguished envoy representing King Yan.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Tongren put down his wine glass and said straight to the point: "I am here specifically to convey the kindness of King Yan! King Yan said that Dangxiang and Han people are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and King Yan will treat everyone equally, and there will be no
No prejudice! If everyone submits to King Yan, their lives will be better!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this. To be honest, for everyone here, what they care about is not who rules them, but whether they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth they have obtained. Odaochong put down
He held the wine glass and smiled slightly, "King Yan is really as broad-minded as the sea!" Looking at Li Tongren, "I just want to know, if we defect to King Yan, will we still be able to enjoy the privileges we enjoy?"
As soon as O Daochong said these words, the scene immediately became silent, and all the royal family members and nobles looked at Li Tongren. The dancers who were dancing felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and the dance became a little unnatural, and then stopped.
The dance retreated consciously, and the sound of music involuntarily turned silent.
Li Tongren smiled slightly, glanced at Ao Daochong, and said: "If you are loyal to King Yan, you will naturally enjoy the same treatment as the people of Yanyun. As for the privileges you currently enjoy, as long as they are not contrary to the laws of Yanyun,
They will all be protected, there is no problem!”
Everyone began to discuss in low voices. A young noble couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean by this, sir? What does it mean not to violate Yanyun's laws? Which ones do not violate Yanyun's laws, and which ones do? What if?
If we violate it, what does King Yan plan to do? Is he going to deprive us of our rights?" Everyone agreed, and a middle-aged nobleman said: "Your Excellency, it is best to make these issues clear, otherwise everyone will have no idea at all.
No!"
O Daochong looked at Li Tongren and said with a smile: "Master Li, you see that everyone is so concerned about these issues, please ask Master Li to explain it in detail."
Li Tongren glanced at everyone with a smile and said: "I originally wanted to explain it, but I didn't expect everyone to be so anxious!" After a pause, he continued: "As I said just now, anyone who does not comply with Yanyun Law
You can retain any rights that are violated. These non-violating rights include the safety and dignity of your life, property and that of your family. If someone violates it, the King of Yan, his bureaucracy and the Yanyun soldiers will recover it for you.
Fair; the real estate you own, no matter how much, is your own, and your private property, including gold, silver, jewelry, bank deposits, etc."
"The above are the rights protected by the Yanyun Law. However, the slaves in the family are contrary to the Yanyun Law. According to the Yanyun Law, no one is allowed to keep slaves. The kind of slaves formed due to debts
The slave relationship must be resolved through legal means. If the debtor cannot repay the debt, he will be sentenced to a penalty as a punishment, but he will not be able to pay the debt personally..." When everyone heard this, there was a buzz of discussion.
Most people frowned, obviously disapproving of this article.
Li Tongren saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and continued: "In addition, regarding land," all the nobles stopped talking and looked at him with great concern. Li Tongren said: "The nobles no longer enjoy the same agricultural benefits as before.
Tax incentives: Those with fifty to one hundred acres of land will pay the same taxes as ordinary people, that is, one tax per ten, one tax per five hundred acres to three hundred acres, and one tax per five hundred to five hundred acres.
, four taxes and one, three taxes and one from 500 acres to 1,000 acres, and two taxes and one for more than 1,000 acres!" Most of the Xixia nobles present had no less than a thousand acres of grain fields under their previous names.
and a large number of pastures, according to Yanyun's system, they are subject to two taxes and one tax, which means that half of the annual income must be given to Yanyun, which they simply cannot accept.
There was a buzz of discussion at the scene, with many people frowning and many looking angry. Li Tongren was so busy that he didn't seem to care much about the attitude of these nobles.
A noble said angrily: "The way King Yan did this is just like a robber. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of the principle of two taxes and one! Are all the nobles under King Yan's rule taxed two and one? I really don't think so.
Believe it! How can King Yan convince us by doing this? How can this country be at peace?" All the nobles agreed one after another, looking very excited.
Li Tongren waited for them to calm down, glanced at them, and said calmly: "The same is true for all places under the rule of King Yan. King Yan treats everyone equally, how can there be any reason to favor one over another?" When the nobles heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless.
However, he was still very unhappy and listened to Li Tongren continue: "The original big nobles and gentry in the Central Plains basically have no land anymore. Most of them have turned to business, and a considerable number of their families are more wealthy than before.
Wealthy. In fact, King Yan did this not to make trouble with the nobles, but to force everyone to change their previous way of survival that depended on land and pasture, and to change everyone's dependence on land to dependence on business. Why do you need to treat land like this?
What about persistence? Don’t you see that the big merchants in Yanjing now have thousands of golden cars and thousands of mansions? Why don’t you take out the land, either donate it to the King of Yan, or sell it, and focus on doing business instead?
If you change, you will immediately find a broader and more fertile world, why bother clinging to those lands?"
A few nobles felt that what Li Tongren said was reasonable and couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, most of the nobles did not listen to what Li Tongren said. They only felt that Li Tongren was cleverly speaking for Yang Peng. Then Yang Peng
It was a guy even more vicious than the legendary Dong Zhuo, who came to seize the land and pastures that he relied on to maintain his status as a noble. The scene was silent and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Ao Daochong frowned and said, "This is hard for us to accept!" As he said this, he looked at Li Tongren's face to see what kind of expression he showed. Unexpectedly, Li Tongren didn't seem to care very much and said with a smile:
"How you choose is your business. Naturally, no one can force you!" Although he said that he was not forced, everyone felt a heavy pressure.
O Daochong thought for a moment and said, "If King Yan can withdraw his policy on land and slaves, we can still consider it!" All the nobles nodded in agreement with O Daochong's words.
Li Tongren smiled, shook his head and said: "This is impossible! As I said just now, King Yan treats everyone equally. This not only means that King Yan will not look down on any group, but it also means that King Yan will not give privileges to anyone!"
The nobles were greatly disappointed, and a young noble shouted: "In this case, we will have to fight with Yan Yun to the end!" Many young nobles shouted in agreement, and the crowd was excited for a while.
Li Tongren burst out laughing, and everyone was so flustered by his laughter that the shouts immediately fell silent, and the scene became silent. Li Tongren glanced at the nobles and said sarcastically: "Threatening King Yan and Yan Yunjun with this, everyone."
Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Before, Xixia’s territory was complete, with more than 600,000 soldiers in armor, but in the end, Yanyun’s tigers and wolves destroyed most of it and occupied most of the rivers and mountains! Now what capital do you have to challenge Yanyun? If Yanyun’s army really
When the arrival comes, how long do you think you can live?" Everyone couldn't help changing their expressions, and everyone was silent, even the few young nobles who had the least knowledge of the world did not say a word.
Li Tongren turned to look at Aodaochong and said impatiently: "What I just said is the attitude of King Yan. There is no room for bargaining! Whether you agree or not, just give me a clear attitude.
Well, so that I can go back and resume my life!" Ao Daochong was in a dilemma. He agreed. He was not willing to give up many of the privileges of being a nobleman, and all the nobles present would obviously not accept it. He refused, but he was afraid that Yan Yun would really...
In anger, the army pressed on the border. Although it was deduced that Yanyun's army was short of food and grass, and it would be difficult to attack in a short period of time, there was always a time when Yanyun's army had sufficient food and grass. At that time, Yanyun's army pressed on the border, but what should be done!
Suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps at the door, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the door, and saw a general-looking man running in with a panic look on his face. He came to the middle of the hall, knelt down towards the alcove and said: "Your Majesty, Southeast
Jisang Langyan suddenly appeared in the direction, I don’t know why!” After Aodao rushed back to Xiliang Mansion, he respected his authority and canonized himself as the King of Xiliang in the name of the emperor. He took charge of military and political affairs and was nominally a minister of Xixia.
, in fact, he is no different from a king.
Everyone present was very surprised when they heard the general's words. General Wei Ming Xiu Ge frowned and said: "Did the Tubo people come to attack us?"
However, under the attack of Yan Yun's army, they fled alone and lost their troops. On that day, a group of their remnants retreated to Hue Fort. Seeing that Yan Yun's army was huge and unstoppable, they fled the Hue Fort. However, due to repeated attacks
They lost their troops and lost their territory, so they did not dare to go south to Xingqing Prefecture, but fled to the Military Division of Baimaqiang Town. Then they fled along the oasis corridor through the Military Division of Baimaqiang Town and fled to Xiliang Prefecture. Later, Odaochong and others fled to Xiliang
Mansion, he was canonized as the general of Xiliang Mansion. Brother Weiming Xiu was grateful and sworn allegiance to Ao Daochong, and became the most trusted general under Ao Daochong.
After hearing Brother Wei Mingxiu's words, everyone thought it was the Tubo invaders. They couldn't help but feel extremely angry. Everyone was eager to try and shouted angrily. They were not at all like the depressed and frightened look they had when they heard Yan Yunjun's name just now.
.
Ao Daochong said coldly: "If the Tubo people dare to invade, we will tell them to go without return!" What he actually wanted to say just now: 'Since the Tubo people have violated the covenant and betrayed their promises, don't blame us for being rude!' But that's not the case!
When I came to my mouth, I suddenly thought that Li Tongren, the envoy of Yanyun, was here. Doesn't "violating the covenant" mean that we have reached a secret agreement with Tubo? We can't let him hear such words, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, these words
When he came to his mouth, he quickly changed his words to another way.
He turned to Brother Wei Mingxiu and said: "General, go down immediately to arrange the city defense. At the same time, send out scouts to investigate the situation, and then send messengers to the Daxue Mountain to inquire about the situation." Brother Wei Mingxiu agreed and ran down.
O Daochong said to Li Tongren with an apologetic look: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect such an emergency to happen!" Li Tongren smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing." Then he said to On.
Dao Chong nodded and said: "Since the Prime Minister has important matters, I will not disturb the Prime Minister and take my leave." He still called Ao Daochong Prime Minister, obviously unwilling to acknowledge Ao Daochong's self-proclaimed title of King of Xiliang.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
