On this day, Di Qing was chatting with Liu Chang in the official hall, and a personal soldier walked in quickly, and said with a forked hand: "Tai Lieutenant, the Yinzhou guard will abandon the city and flee!" ”

Di Qing stood up abruptly and said in a loud voice, "Where to flee?" ”

The soldiers said: "Flee to Mida Cave and sneak attack my army to attack Mida Cave." The two armies merged into one road and went to An Qingze and Huang Yangping. ”

Di Qing couldn't help frowning when he heard this. An Qingze and Huang Yangping are in the depths of the desert, and like Dijinze, they are the places where the nomadic tribes of the party live. Because it is in the depths of the desert, the nomadic tribes are uncertain and difficult to attack.

After pacing back and forth in the official hall for a few steps, Di Qing said: "Mituo Cave and Yinzhou will be destroyed." However, the last remaining troops must be pursued to prevent them from coming back. Okay, you go down first, and I'll deal with this matter. ”

After returning to the case, Di Qing sat down, and said to Liu Chang: "I want to come to the party to see that the general trend has gone, and I don't want to surrender, so I take people to run into the desert." There are about 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yinju and Midadong. If you indulge for a while, you will definitely do a lot of harm in the future. It's the beginning of February, spring is in full bloom, and the herders are at their busiest. It is better to send a large army and exterminate them, which can be regarded as the end of it. ”

Liu Chang said: "Although I don't know about the military affairs, but the Xingling in the west has fallen, and now Hengshan is also in the hands of the imperial court, and the party members have run into the desert, what is the way out?" Normally, they should have been lowered. ”

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "No matter how much, send a large army to exterminate them." Then the army gathered together and waited for the imperial court to send it. ”

Why won't you surrender? Di Qing probably knew it in his heart. After passing Youzhou, the army was divided, and Di Qing was a little unable to control his subordinates, and there were many cases of surrendering troops to rebel and slaughter the city and loot. When the party members saw it, where were they willing to surrender? The more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to fight, because the party members are frightened by these messes. Surrender is death, so why not resist to the end?

As long as Yinzhou and Mida Cave are occupied, Di Qing can hand over the place to Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road, and the army will be assembled. Only when the army is in one place can you see it, and there will be no more robbing of the people.

Liu Chang didn't say anything more. In the past few days of observation, Di Qing himself has been extremely strict, but the army that has been divided into troops cannot be completely controlled, and all kinds of things have happened. Gather the army, fight the last battle, and have an ending.

Jia Kui was in Linzhou, mobilizing a part of his army to go to the periphery of Shuozhou. Suddenly, the soldiers came to report, saying that Di Qing had sent the news, and the remnants of the party had entered An Qingze and Huang Yangping, which made Jia Kui be careful and couldn't help but be surprised.

After thinking about it, he said: "The party people abandoned Yinzhou and Mida Cave and were surrounded by our army on all sides, what is the way out?" Where do they want to go when they enter the Yellow Sheep Flat and the vast desert? Do you still want to cross Linfu Road and go to the Khitan? ”

The soldier said: "Tai Lieutenant, the last strength of the party to escape is only one or two hundred thousand, how can they cross the Linfu Road?" I think it was because these party members did not surrender to life and death, and finally struggled. If they send men to inspect them, they will not dare to come. ”

Jia Kui shook his head: "If Captain Di's army enters to suppress them, they have nowhere to go, be careful to come to me." ”

After speaking, he called the generals of the army to come over and arranged for the inspection of various armies. As long as they surround the party members, they will not be able to think about it.

The party members abandoned the city and fled, and Xia An led the army to occupy Xiazhou. After arranging, go to Shizhou to meet Di Qing.

Di Qing led people to welcome Xia An into the official hall, sat down, and said: "After entering Xiazhou, there is no more city in the party, which is really a great contribution." ”

Xia Anqi said: "Taiwei led the army from Lingzhou all the way to the east, breaking countless enemies, and this battle is the credit of Taiwei." The imperial court meant that after the war, Taiwei gathered a large army, crossed Hengshan to Yanzhou, and returned to Beijing by train. ”

Di Qing said: "I know about this. Now there are about 20,000 remnants of the party, and they have fled to Anqingze and Huangyangping, which must be ignored. I intend to gather a large army in Xiazhou and Shizhou, and go north to fight the thieves to prevent this trouble. After destroying this enemy, the army returned to Beijing. ”

Xia Anqi pondered for a while and said: "An Qingze and Huangyang are both party pastures in the desert, how can they feed 20,000 people?" If you want to come to these party members, you won't stay long, and you always have to find a way out. ”

Di Qing said: "I'm afraid that the party members will be cunning, and after my army leaves, I will invade the state and county." Now that the army has arrived, it should be exterminated and will not be allowed to harm the imperial court. Only by destroying this thief can there be long-term peace and stability. ”

Xia Anqi said: "It's naturally good for the captain to think so, but there are more than 200,000 troops, but I'm afraid that the supply of grain and grass will not be enough." ”

Di Qing said: "I have to trouble the captain and allocate some grain and grass from Yanyan Road." It's not more than a month, so it shouldn't be difficult to think about. Also, I have known that Jia Kui brought grain and grass from the Baode army as a supplement. In any case, the last battle must be fought, and the party will not be left with a chance to turn over! ”

Xia Anqi nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Taiwei had better be fast, the roads in this area are rugged, and it is not easy to transport grain and grass." ”

Di Qing said: "I will take care of it." I will attack the remnants of the party with 100,000 troops, and see where they can escape! It has been six months since the soldiers were used, and the last battle must be clean and beautiful, so that these party members will remember and dare not fight again! ”

It was difficult to persuade Xia An, so he had to promise to prepare food for Di Qing's department. The Wuding River is generally not navigable, and it is not an easy task to prepare food for 200,000 people. Even if there is help from other places, it is a big challenge to prepare only tens of thousands of people.

Walking on the mountain road, Jiao Yong raised his eyes and looked around. By this time it was spring, the earth was starting to turn green, and unknown wildflowers were blooming on the mountains. All sorts of beasts and birds, jumping in the mountains, watched the army vigilantly.

Jiao Yong said: "This time I went to Shizhou, and the captain ordered to go north to attack the remnants of the party, which was the last battle." Those party thieves ran into the desert, and I don't know what to do! When we go to chase and suppress, we will also have to suffer some hardships. ”

The general on one side said: "In the desert, it is the most difficult, and there is no benefit in killing thieves, it is hard work." ”

Jiao Yong scolded: "The treasures you robbed in Longzhou are already rare, are you still not satisfied?" After arriving in Shizhou, by the side of Taiwei, you can't come wantonly! If you are caught by the captain and cut off your head with a knife, you will not plead. ”

Several generals stuck out their tongues when they heard this, and said: "I heard that the generals who robbed the iron smelting were executed by the captain, which frightened many people. The party has rebelled against the imperial court for many years, and he should die, and he doesn't want the captain to kill his own subordinates for them. ”

Jiao Yong said: "The imperial court strictly ordered that the army can only kill the enemy on the battlefield, not abuse the people, and not kill the soldiers, how can the captain not obey the order?" Just killed a dozen people, and he was already too kind. Otherwise, if we slaughter Longzhou, how can Taiwei let it go! ”

Several generals hurriedly thanked Jiao. The matter of Longzhou, without the last acquiescence of Jiaoyong, where can it be so smooth. Of course, afterwards, the general offered a lot of treasures to Jiao Yong as a reward, and Jiao Yong happily accepted it.

Now that Di Qing has gathered a large army to concentrate in Xiazhou and Shizhou, Jiao Yong is actually a little worried about these people. However, along the way, I saw that many other places were looted by the Song army, so I felt a lot more relieved. The so-called law does not blame the public, only do it yourself, and you are afraid that Di Qing will settle accounts, and many people will have no way to do this. It's okay to kill a few people, but you can't punish your generals on a large scale.

Recently, the generals who were sent out to occupy the surrounding areas and robbed the money were even if they made some extra money.
