1033. The army is coming to Dali

The border of the Song Dynasty.

It is dozens of miles away from Qi City.

More than 20,000 troops were traveling through the wilderness.

Since receiving the letter from Zhao Dongting that day, Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang, who were originally fighting on Guangnan West Road, brought the Dali surrendered generals back to Changsha. Liu Hongyi, Que Huarong and others led the Qiongzhou army and the Jingjiang Prefecture garrison troops to escort the Dali surrendered soldiers to Jingjiang Prefecture. Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei, Miao Cheng and others led their soldiers directly westward and headed towards Dali.

Hong Wutian, Jian Shisi, Mrs. Xu, Zhu Zongyao and other Wuding Hall worshipers also accompanied the army.

Now, they finally arrived at the Dali border.

In front of you is the vast river of rivers.

The army slowly stopped next steps.

Liu Zhuwen and others were all in front of the army, looking at the endless mountains and rivers in front. Even Liu Zhuwen, who was very scholarly, was also a little energetic and waved his hand: "There is Dali in front!"

There is a stone tablet more than ten meters in front of him.

The stone tablet contains two big characters "Da Song" and there are small vertical characters on the side, "Those who dare to offend the Song Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!"

Miao Cheng stared at the stone tablet and chuckled, "Yes, we finally arrived in Dali. This time, we must take Dali for the emperor."

Zhang Hongwei's eyes were murderous, "I can't let Dali continue his surname Duan!"

In the past, due to the geographical environment, no matter whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, it had little dominance over Dali. Dali always maintained a state dominated by Duan.

Now Duan Qilin is urging his army to attack Song for hundreds of thousands, which has made Liu Zhuwen and other generals angry, and he is unwilling to ignore this Dali land anymore.

The emperor has a broad strategy of his career. When they attack Li this time, they will inevitably make Dali truly the land of the Song Dynasty.

Hong Wutian and Jian Shisi were immediately beside Liu Zhuwen and others, and their eyes were also a little sarcastic.

After a while, Liu Zhuwen suddenly looked back and looked at the army, shouting loudly: "The army set up camp on the spot! After resting, we will attack the army!"

"promise!"

A loud response sounded in the army.

Although there is not much food and grass in the army until now, Liu Zhuwen and the others have no worries. Guangnan West Road is stable, and food and grass will always be transported here continuously.

Zhao Dongting brought back new crops such as potatoes from the Americas and improved rice cultivation methods. This made the Song Dynasty not short of food at this time.

Even the rioters burned a lot of food, they still failed to force the Song Dynasty to a situation where food was cut off.

The white tent gradually spread in the wilderness.

After Liu Zhuwen and others had their tents set up, they returned to the tent.

Some soldiers hung the Dali map on the wall.

Some soldiers moved the sand table in.

There are mountains, rivers, fields and nearly twenty flags on the sand table.

The Momi tribe, the Helong tribe, the Ya tribe, the Yezhu tribe, the Luowen tribe, the Luoxiong tribe, the Nurg tribe, the Maitreya tribe, and the Shicheng County...

These flags have characters written on them, which are individual stocks in the Marble City County.

Among them, such as the Momi tribe, the Maitreya tribe, the Yeju tribe, and the Yu Ya tribe were powerful tribes, and they were recognized by the Duan clan of Dali. However, because of their weak power, they did not receive the Duan clan of Dali. However, they eventually reproductively survived in this Shicheng County, and each had their own leaders.

This time, the general manager of Shicheng County led 30,000 troops to fight with the Feng, and the small tribes such as Luo Wen and Luo Xiong were more or less dispatched troops.

The sand table was just put into place, and Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and others surrounded the sand table.

These days, camping every night, they will discuss strategies to attack Shicheng County.

Although there are no strong soldiers in Dali now, wars are never something that can be taken lightly.

Even until now, Liu Zhuwen and others have not decided on the strategy of attacking Shicheng County. However, I think it will be decided tonight.

Liu Zhuwen put his hands on the sand table and smiled at the generals: "Everyone, we will officially attack Dali tomorrow. There are still two voices in the army. Commander Miao advocates separating troops to capture the various divisions. I advocate driving straight into Poshicheng County first, and then sending envoys to let the leaders of each division surrender. Let's think about it first, and then prepare to vote!"

Although the highest command of General Zhao Dongting was handed over to Liu Zhuwen, Liu Zhuwen obviously did not mean to be a one-man rule.

This is for the unity of the army and its respect for Miao Cheng, Zhang Hongwei and others.

Liu Zhuwen was indeed better than Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei, but Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei were older than him in the army. Especially Miao Cheng, who was a general a long time ago.

After hearing Liu Zhuwen's words, the generals either pondered or discussed them carefully.

Everyone has confidence in taking over Shicheng County. But of course they still want to find the most labor-saving and fastest way.

The sunset gradually fell towards the mountain.

Liu Zhuwen was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly for the generals to discuss the results.

"General!"

At this moment, a personal army suddenly came into the tent outside the tent and looked at Liu Zhuwen and said, "There is a messenger from Ziqi."

"Ziqi messenger?"

The eyes of everyone in the tent were gathered on the personal soldiers.

Liu Zhuwen said: "Please come in."

When Dali attacked the Song Dynasty, Ziqi fell. With the destruction of the Dali army, Ziqi returned to the rule of the Song Dynasty, and the government office was established again in a short period of time.

When Liu Zhuwen and others heard Ziqi's messenger, they thought it was a letter from Jingjiang Prefecture or something happened in Ziqi's territory.

The personal soldiers walked out of the tent.

Soon, a letter messenger wearing yamen runners' clothes came into the tent.

His eyes swept across the people in the tent, and he knocked towards him: "The little official has seen all the generals!"

At this time, let alone Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei, and Miao Cheng, even the armor worn by the other generals could make the believer agree.

These are all ten thousand men!

The ten thousand men in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were much higher in their official titles than their chief executives.

Fortunately, this letter did not know the identity of Hong Wutian and others, otherwise he would have really scared his legs.

"Get up!"

Liu Zhuwen waved his hand at the messenger and said, "Who asked you to send a message?"

The letter said: "It is the letter of the imperial city."

Then he quickly got up, walked to Liu Zhuwen and took out the letter.

When everyone in the hall heard this, their faces showed a slight surprise.

No one expected that the Imperial City would be trusted at this time.

Liu Zhuwenwei frowned and took the letter.

He wondered if the emperor wanted to change his policy.

Could it be that something happened on Jinghu North Road?

After opening the letter, a smile appeared on his face at an extremely fast speed, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Liu Zhuwen said, "Everyone, you are so happy, so happy!"

He was so excited that his hands were trembling, "The Emperor and Deputy Zhang Junji Ling defeated the Dali Army led by Feng Hebi in Chenzhou. Feng Hebi and Dali Prince Duan Shi led 50,000 people to surrender to our dynasty! Now, there are really not many soldiers in Dali. We no longer need to worry about Feng Hebi leading the army back, and we can lead the army directly to Dali Imperial City!"

After saying that, he laughed again.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and then they all showed surprise.

Miao Cheng took the letter from Liu Zhuwen's hand, and his hands were trembling.

The letter was written by Le Chan. Because it was a letter sent by Fei Ge, there was not much content, but every word was extremely important.

Before, Miao Cheng, Liu Zhuwen and others planned to take Shicheng County first and take action step by step, all because they were worried that Feng Hebi might lead the army back, but now, there is no such concern.

Although they only have more than 20,000 troops, where can there be any army in Dali to stop them?

Where can there be an army that can cut off their retreat?

Liu Zhuwen slapped his hands on the sand table, looked at Miao Cheng, and said, "Captain Miao, I suggest that the army take Shicheng County directly, and then pass through Shanchan Mansion, Landong Mansion, and Dali Imperial City directly. Take Dali monarch Duan Qilin off guard, what do you think?"

"good!"

The key points are important.

Then both of them looked at Zhang Hongwei again.

Zhang Hongwei, who was wearing a blindfold, smiled, "I would like to lead the soldiers under my command as the pioneer!"

Liu Zhuwen said: "Okay, then Commander Zhang, you have not led the army! Haha, if you are so direct in Huanglong, we may not have to wait for the defenders to send food and grass!"

Everyone in the tent laughed.

Liu Zhuwen directly pulled out all the flags on the sand table and said with great enthusiasm: "When we take down the Dali Imperial City, we will deal with these tribes."
Chapter completed!
