4. Tiao Meng rushes to kill
After hearing Zheng Zhi's request, Yi Mouxun was also deeply touched: "In the Yuan Dynasty, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers who are good at fighting, all of which are located in Yunnan. They have Yuejiang war horses, Erhai Lake fish and rice, gold and silver in the east, and snow salt in the Dianchi Lake. How can they be controlled by Choufan? If the Tang family is in harmony with me, I will fight against Fanfan!"
Then the entire Yangzhumei City started to operate, and the sound of war drums on Cangshan sounded:
Yi Mouxun made a large-scale move from Yu Yiwei, carrying the platoon of soldiers, Wangzhuzi, the village soldiers, and nearly 40,000 people were attached to the country, and ordered several Qingping officials to "take troops and horses in various units to the city of Huichuan, stand in front of the formation during the war, and use a memorial to record the troops and horses of each formation to advance and retreat with a letter and write down the courage to be afraid of those who do not come forward, and behead them!"
To the outside world, the flags of these 40,000 troops in Yunnan were "sending troops to the Xifan to Zhuozhou to assist the beggar and hide from the Tang soldiers" and drove directly to Huichuan City.
Zheng Zhi also came out with the formation, while Cui Zuoshi stayed in Yangjume City.
Almost at the same time, the Fengyi Army, Dingwu Army, and Yining Army had 25,000 soldiers climbed over Jiuzheban in Qionglai Pass and appeared in the Lizhou area. The great ghost master of the Fengpa tribe came to welcome him. Wei Gao and Gao Yue asked him not to speak for the time being, but sent a careful confidant to contact the great ghost master of the two forest tribes at that time. Then Wei Gao asked his "General Manager of the Three Departments of the East Man" Xu Ji to lead 300 cavalry to the dissolute ghost master of the Wudeng, Zhu Meng, to "invitation" him to come out to Liwu City to discuss.
Liwu City is the core stronghold where Wei Gao operates Lizhou and controls the Dadu River.
Three days later, Xu Ji led 300 cavalry and lined up, standing under the city of Wudeng Rural Hall under the scorching sun.
The so-called Guancheng is the Dongman Fort built on the hillside, built with soil and bamboo, with many terraces and houses on all sides.
Faced with Xu Ji's "invitation", Zhu Mengchong, who was guilty, did not dare to agree immediately, "Previously, this ghost master was just a conflict with the two forests. Fengpa tribe had several armed fights. As for the Western British soldiers taking advantage of the situation, it was not the one who attracted this ghost master."
Xu Ji at the foot of Guancheng shouted: "Wei Lianshuai believed what the Great Ghost Lord said, but Lianshuai still hoped that the three tribes of the Eastern Man can reconstruct the old, so he ordered the Beixia to set up a banquet with the Liwu City Envoy (Liu Chaocai) and ask the three great ghost masters to reconcile."
But Zhu Mengchong was still unwilling to believe it, so he tried his best to argue, saying that he must have been misunderstood by Zhu and Piao at that time. They must have said bad things about me in front of General Manager Xu and Liu Cheng's envoy. I was afraid of being executed without guilt and dared not attend the banquet.
Secretly, Zhu Mengchong asked his confidants in the city to prepare for battle. If Wei Gao led a large group of troops behind the scenes, he would fight with all his tribe members.
At the same time, the secret door of the Guancheng City was opened, and several confidants from Zhu Mengchong rode out quietly, so they quickly reported the situation here to the Quizang who was in Taideng City, and asked them to lead the troops of Xifan to help and protect themselves.
However, the unlucky ghosts sent by Zhu Mengchong were discovered by the beacons set up by the Tang family in Wuhou Ridge just over ten miles away from the city of Guancheng. The whistle and scouts of the Tang family ran out in various valleys, and captured Zhu Mengchong's confidant twenty miles south of Liwu City.
Over there, when Xu Ji saw that Zhu Mengchong was toasting and did not eat the punishment, he shouted: "If the great ghost master refuses to come to Liwu City, please go to Shankou City."
Zhu Mengchong's hands were filled with sweat. At this time, many tribe members in Guancheng who were dissatisfied with his rule surrounded the dead Zhu Song son Zhu Piaoli and swarmed into the city, shouting that Zhu Mengchong would leave Guancheng as soon as possible and to identify the previous behaviors from the Tang family.
Seeing that he had betrayed the Tang family and led foreign soldiers to attack Lianglin, the behavior of Fengpa's tribe was already ruined. Helpless Zhu Mengchong could only ride out of the city with dozens of confidants, preparing to go to Xifan to cover up.
When Xu Ji saw Zhu Mengchong running away, he shouted at Wu Deng's museum: "Don't be afraid, the fields, oxen and farm tools are all given to you by Wei Lianshuai. Now he only killed Zhu Mengchong, and then returned to Zhu Song's son to fight against rebellion. This day!"
At this time, the city walls and bamboo grilles on all sides of Wu Dengguan City echoed the shouts of Xu Ji. Many of Wu Deng tribe's Ding Zhuang held wooden crossbows and poisonous arrows, condescending to Zhu Meng who was trying to escape.
Zhu Mengchong's knee was immediately shot, and the horse was shot while sitting down. Then he screamed and fell into the moat with his horse. His whole body was stabbed by sharp blackened bamboo spears. He was then pulled out by Xu Ji's subordinates and the Wu Deng tribe who stood out spontaneously, and was escorted to Liwu City with a clamor.
In front of the Wuhou Temple in Liwu City, Wei Gao and Gao Yue sat side by side on their own beds. The steps were surrounded by Tang soldiers like gods and ghosts, and the Dongman tribe who was glaring at him. Zhu Mengchong, who was seriously injured, colluded with Xifan, was a crime of both people and stolen.
"The court appointed you as a prince and a tutor. You did not want to serve. Instead, you were attached to Xifan, cut off the tribute journey of Nanzhao, and killed two forests. If I keep you today, what kind of majesty will I have to manage Yunnan in the future? I will beheaded by Hanyuan and show the public to the direction of Taichung City!"
Soon, at the Hanyuan Field at the city of Liwu, there were crowds of people watching. Wu Deng's Zhu Mengchong was beheaded, his head was hung high on a high rod, inserted on the surging Dadu River, facing the mountains of Qingxi Pass there.
Wei Gao then ordered the division of Wu Deng into six tribes, and the elders of the tribe gave up and assisted in the governance of Zhu and Piaoli. Then the three tribes of the Eastern Manchus each produced three thousand strong powers, accompanying the main actions of the Tang army.
Qi Zangzang was very surprised when he learned the news and hurriedly led his troops to the peak of the south bank of the Dadu River. However, he saw Li Wu, Shankou, Dingfan and Shen Li on the opposite side, and they were about to rush to the forts of the Tang army. The camps were winding and flags were flying. At this time, in addition to Wei Gao and Gao Yue's main force, the Tang army was all under Du Huangshang's command, Xie Facheng, also led 10,000 elite Dongchuan troops, and the Dongman's servant army had 50,000 people.
At this time, Qizangzhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhezhe
At this time, Ma Dingde thought for a while and asked Qizang to cover up, saying, "Taiden City is at the northern end of the state. If Nanzhao departs from us at this time, this city will be attacked from the enemy and become a Jedi. You might as well withdraw all the troops and retreat to Kunming City, Nuoji City (now Yanyuan County, Xichuan, Mianning County), and follow Dashan, Nangongchuan and Saigongchuan. After obtaining reinforcements from other places in Dafan South Road, you will look for fighters to compete with the Tang army."
He begged to hide but was ashamed to abandon Taideng City. He said to Ma Dingde: "The god Zanpu entrusted me to the great remarks of Yunling. How could he abandon the ruling state without fighting? Is that still considered the proud descendant of the Nan family? I am willing to defend Taideng City to the death and give the Tang army a great injury. Then, my troops from Dafan, Saigong, Huichuan, Shenchuan and Qinghai will be here, and they will defeat the exhausted soldiers of the Tang army."
"Please listen to it..." Soma, the loyal servant beside Qizang, spoke just now.
