For a moment, Duduo didn't know what Tie Mo was planning, and said he had no choice but to go see Tie Mo. "Send someone to look for He Cha, and we must find him back."
"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and left without any hesitation. Knowing that Hecha was very likely to fall into Tie Mo's hands, it was a bit stupid to send the guards to search the capital. Isn't it a bit stupid?
Late at night the next day, Duduo did come to Tiemo's house. Of course, Duduo could not come in an honest manner. He was wrapped in a black robe, like a pedestrian in the night.
When the two met, Duduo didn't say anything nonsense. He put his hands together and asked with no sign of joy or anger, "Supervisor, I wonder why you arrested He Cha? If He Cha has offended you in any way, Xiao Wang is here to apologize to you. No, I hope the supervisor will put Hecha back for Xiao Wang's sake."
Duduo seemed to be sure that Qi Kelie was in Tie Mo's hands, and Tie Mo did not deny it. His deep gaze passed over Duduo's face, which actually made Wanyan Zongwang feel a little fear in his heart. Tie Mo curled his lips and sneered, "Ten Belle That’s interesting. He Cha is a key witness in an important case. If I don’t protect him well, I want to send him away? Doesn’t that make me the most stupid person in the world? "
"Supervisor, what do you want?"
"It's nothing. Since someone has falsely accused the Governor of killing Takeo Miyamoto, you have to defend yourself, right? I heard that Japanese people are very straightforward, but they are all people who must avenge their grievances. Do you think if they knew What will be the real cause of death of Takeo Miyamoto?"
Tie Mo had a sad smile on his face, and Dodo's heart sank. There were a lot of things to do when he came to the capital this time. First, he had to get Jin Mingwan, and secondly, he had to convince the Japanese and his brother Dole. They cooperated with each other to conspire against North Korea. At present, Jin Mingwan’s matter has not been solved, and the Japanese road is blocked, so why should he have the shame to go back to see his brother?
"Haha, Inspector Su Wen is very particular about profit. Why don't you and I discuss a business deal today?"
"Haha, what Ten Baylor is saying is that if you want this governor to stop, then you have to see if Ten Baylor has enough chips."
Tie Mo will definitely open his mouth. Knowing this, Duduo still had to ask, "I wonder what the governor wants?"
"This matter is very simple for Ten Belle. Give up on Jin Mingwan and never try to have Jin Mingwan's ideas again!"
Duduo felt a little bitter in his heart. Jin Mingwan was a hot commodity. If he captured Jin Mingwan, he would be able to add a lot of influence in southern Korea, which would be very helpful in conquering North Korea in the future. But right now, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. .If he can’t win over Jin Mingwan, then Jin Mingwan will become Tie Mo’s bag.
Kim Mingwan is just a woman, but the influence of the ten cities in southern North Korea is the most terrible.
Li Wanqing is now running Pidao, and he seems to be more ruthless than Mao Wenlong. If there is close support from North Korea, the Kingdom of Jin will have a headache. After negotiating with Tie Mo, Duo Duo did not want to stay any longer. Now he understands that his brother Duo Er Why was Gon so afraid of Tie Mo? This man was definitely his lifelong enemy. After seeing off Duo Duo, Tie Mo's originally relaxed brows gained a dignified look. He looked at the stars in the sky and sighed softly.
North Korea really can't ignore it. Now it has established a Royal Navy fleet. North Korea has its heart set on the Ming Dynasty. It is only good for itself and has no harm to itself. However, if Japan and the Jurchens take over North Korea, it will not be a good thing. However, Marriage with Jin Mingwan is also nonsense, even a bit ridiculous.
Don’t make any trouble during the upcoming congratulatory ceremony. The capital has temporarily returned to calm, but the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Chongzhen was unusual. Just after the New Year, bad news came one after another in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. It was entrenched in Shizhou
Gao Yingxiang actually compromised with some chieftains at the suggestion of Niu Jinxing, and the two parties reached an oath of alliance and actually launched an attack on Shizhou. At the same time, after a brief period of calm, Bashu also became turbulent again.
It was the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Chongzhen. On this day, we should find a place to spend a good year. No matter how difficult the life was, we had to find a way to have a good meal in peace. But Zhang Xianzhong seemed to have gone crazy and suddenly ordered Liu Wenxiu
It bypasses Chengdu Prefecture from the north and goes straight to Xiling. Xiling lies to the west of Chengdu Prefecture and the terrain is dangerous.
Yes. Normally, if the bandits occupy Xiling, Qin Liangyu and others will not frown, but it is different now. Soon, a batch of ordnance and supplies supplied by the Iron Governor will be shipped from Wusizang
.Xiling is right in the middle. What if the rogue soldiers come out of Xiling and seize supplies?
Qin Liangyu and Geng Zhongming, who are in Chengdu Prefecture, are destined not to have a good New Year. Nowadays, the southwest of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be full of wars, and the congratulatory ceremony was held under such circumstances.
Qin Liangyu and Geng Zhongming had discussed it several times. What they discussed was not whether to attack Xiling, but how to attack it. This batch of supplies is so important to the Chengdu Prefecture. With this batch of supplies, the Bashu bandits can be suppressed until early summer, and even
We can still counterattack with this batch of ordnance.
Zhang Xianzhong. Geng Zhongming had been thinking about this for a long time. At three o'clock in the morning, he found Qin Liangyu with a bunch of blueprints in his arms. "General Qin, the terrain in Xiling is dangerous, and a strong attack will definitely not work. Therefore, Geng decided to lead a troop of soldiers and horses from the west."
Go around."
Qin Liangyu looked at Geng Zhongming and said nothing for a long time. She had been in Bashu for a long time, and she knew the situation in Xiling very well. In the middle of winter, it was the coldest time, and there was snow almost everywhere on the top of Xiling. It was even more difficult to go around from the west.
It has to cross the entire Xiling Snow Peak. Xiling Snow Mountain sounds like a beautiful name, but to the Bashu people, this place is a forbidden land that swallows life.
"General Geng, you are right. We can't delay it any longer. It's a good idea to go around from the west. Let's do this. Let Qin take people across the Xiling Snow Mountain!"
"General Qin, there is no need to argue about this matter. Do you think Chengdu Prefecture can live without you? If you are not there, Geng will not be able to mobilize these arrogant soldiers and generals in Chengdu Prefecture, and those chieftains will not be able to control them."
You will listen to me." Geng Zhongming waved his hands and said with a wry smile.
Qin Liangyu sighed helplessly. What Geng Zhongming said was true, but Geng Zhongming was here to help, but he was asked to shoulder such a dangerous burden, and he felt really sorry. Just when he was about to say something, Geng Zhongming smiled and said: "Qin
Chief Soldier, actually you don’t have to feel bad, you and I are both working under the Superintendent’s account now, and it will be a good thing for the Superintendent to resolve the troubles in Bashu as soon as possible.”
Zhang Xianzhong caused harm to Bashu, causing hundreds of thousands of Bashu troops to be trapped in the Chengdu area. If Zhang Xianzhong and his like could be driven out, Bashu soldiers and horses could free up some manpower to support other bandit suppression projects. To put it bluntly, Bashu has nothing to worry about.
The Iron Governor can mobilize troops and horses from Bashu to expand his own strength.
In the middle of winter in Xiling, the wind was fierce and mixed with dry and cold air. In three days, Geng Zhongming and his party finally arrived at the Xiling Snow Mountain. But at this time, Geng Zhongming not only had to face the problem of personnel shortage, but also faced the problem of insufficient food and grass.
Question. When I came here, I thought it would only take two days to reach the Xiling Snow Mountain, so for the convenience of the march, I only brought three days of rations. But now the three days of rations are almost gone, and what’s more terrible is that many of my soldiers are...
A few of them caught wind and cold, and two soldiers died on the way to climb the mountain because they couldn't bear the altitude sickness.
Xuefeng held a skeptical attitude.
On top of the snow peak, there is snow all year round, which has already formed thick ice crystals. The ice surface is extremely smooth, coupled with the steep stone walls, I really don’t know how to climb up.
Now there are only two choices before Geng Zhongming, either give up and retreat, or go all the way forward, whether life or death, to climb the Xiling Snow Mountain, but no matter which choice, it is extremely difficult. To retreat,
There is almost no food left, so how can we persist until we go down the mountain or go up the mountain, and how can we ensure that we can go up alive?
Huddled behind a boulder, hiding from the violent wind and snow, rubbing his hands and breathing hot air, Geng Zhongming looked coldly at the snowy peak not far away, "Brothers, you all know the current situation.
Now that the army has run out of food, it is unknown whether we can insist on returning. Therefore, Geng does not want to hide it from you. No matter whether we go forward or backward, we will have a narrow escape from death. Let us make up our minds about how to choose now."
While speaking, Yang Zaixing quietly put his hand on the handle of the knife. The generals were concentrating on thinking about what Geng Zhongming had just said. How could they pay attention to these. Although Geng Zhongming was asking, in fact, he already had an idea in his mind. Geng Zhongming felt that he
He has stayed in Bashu for long enough, and the troubles in Bashu must be solved as soon as possible. Leaving northern Shanxi for too long will not be a good thing for his future development. Geng Zhongming has his own selfish motives, but similarly, the problems in Bashu must be solved as soon as possible.
, no harm to anyone. This trip to the snowy mountains is very important, and no one is allowed to ruin it.
After a while, Geng Zhongming finally breathed a sigh of relief, because everyone chose to move forward, especially Ali, the chieftain of southern Sichuan. He patted his blue face and said with a bitter smile, "General Geng, it's already this time, what else are we talking about?"
If you retreat, you are a grown man. Now that you have come this far, you have to move forward even if you die. In short, I will not retreat. If you go back in such a hasty way, you will never have the dignity to live to see people."
After that, Ali stood up suddenly and left the boulder, and came to the vicinity of the soldiers. Ali shouted something excitedly, and the soldiers followed him and rushed towards the big snow peak not far away. Ali had already taken practical actions.
, the others refused to fall behind, and just like that, a decadent army slowly walked towards the Xiling Snow Mountain.
Climbing a mountain is a difficult process. You need to dig a hole in the ice and secure it with a dagger before continuing forward. Many soldiers' hands were so cold that they lost all feeling. Blood flowed out along the cracked hole, but they felt nothing at all.
None. Maybe the dagger was not tied to the hand with a cloth, and it had fallen down long ago. Even so, casualties were inevitable. Some soldiers lost strength in their hands and slipped down the ice. Many people did not die immediately.
, but their pain was simply worse than death. At this moment, Geng Zhongming's heart was hardened. He asked the soldiers to come forward and give them a stab, relieving the pain of the injured soldiers. No one would say anything, these days
Are there many people who died tragically? A soldier fell into an ice cave and his entire crotch was pierced by an ice pick. He was bleeding out little by little. How could he save him? That time, it was General Geng who cut the man open with his own hands.
Everyone knows that the soldier left with a smile when he died.
Sometimes death is not suffering, but the relief from suffering. Sometimes it is more difficult to kill than to save.
For half a day, almost every inch of land in the northern part of Xiling Snow Mountain was covered with the blood of soldiers. However, the sacrifice was worth it. Before the sun set, Ali led the people to the snow peak and tied up ropes.
This snow peak is a thousand-year miracle. Only when you stand on the snow peak can you understand the vastness of the world.
Geng Zhongming did not dare to stay longer because time was too tight and he had to find a way to go down the mountain. But there is a saying that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. Standing on the top of the mountain, covered with snow and shrouded in mist, the most basic direction can still be judged.
must
You have to go east, east to enter the middle part of Xiling. Step by step, every step is difficult. Geng Zhongming just wants to spit out a mouthful of blood, because there is no way to find it. The bare snow-capped cliffs are almost straight, with only a slight slope.
How to stand upright?
I turned my head to look at the sun in the west. It was so groggy that I had to go down the mountain today. Otherwise, by the evening, I would probably have been defeated by the ensuing snowstorm before I starved to death.
Geng Zhongming didn't explain much. He tied the saber on his body and threw the thick cloak aside. "Now it's time to go down the mountain. Brothers, when you go down the mountain, you will find the camp of the rogue bandits. Then we can cooperate with General Qin to get it."
We have descended the entire Xiling. Are you asking how to get down the mountain? Haha, actually this question is easy to answer. Are you afraid of death? Those who are not afraid of death should follow me!"
Let's talk. Geng Zhongming jumped up and slid down the smooth ice. He slid farther and farther until he couldn't see anything. Many soldiers were stunned. General Geng jumped down like this? What if there was someone below?
What to do if there is danger, what to do if there are rocks ahead? With Geng Zhongming as an example, Ali and others followed suit, so a group of people rolled down, and pieces of rolling gourds appeared on the ice.
"Ah..." A scream came. It turned out that it was a soldier who fell into the ice cave. Xiling Snow Mountain is not a complete mountain top. There are mountain streams in many places, but they are blocked by ice. This is
A large number of people rolled down the mountain. Tokyo was not small. Under the shaking, some of the ice cracked, and those soldiers became unlucky. They fell into the ice hole and there was no way to save them.
Yang Zaixing is really crazy. What he did today is a bit of a gamble. If there is a cliff or an ice valley under the snow peak, none of the people who go down will survive. But Geng Zhongming is lucky. When Youyou wakes up, except for his body
There were a few scratches here and there, but some places were a little sore. He stood up unsteadily and roared to the sky, and then many people gathered together.
After counting the number of people, there were more than 2,000 people left. Half of the troops were lost even before the battle began. This shows how terrifying Xiling Snow Peak is.
