Yang Wenguang looked at the person standing in front of him, although he was wearing Fanren clothes and dressed as a fan, he had a white face and black hair, like a teacher. This kind of person, needless to ask, must be well-informed and often deal with Han people.

"Who are you in the city? Why do you want to see me? ”

Zhuang Lang Shi Dao arched his hand: "In Xia Zhuang Lang Shi Dao, it is not the people in the city, but the people of the Zhuang Lang tribe. He was ordered by the head of the Black Mountain Assassin to see the commander of the Song army, Zhuang Lang, who was also the head of the headquarters. I don't know what to call a general? ”

Yang Wenguang said: "In Xia Yang Wenguang, Xi is the front-line commander here. If you have anything to say, just tell me. ”

"It turned out to be General Yang. Ling Zu crisscrossed several states back then, and everyone who heard it was discouraged, and he really took the door a tiger general. Yang Ye was a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he still led his troops to fight after the Song Dynasty.

The officials in the city guessed that it was Zhao Zi of Yunnei Prefecture who led troops outside the city, and Zhuang Lang buried Bao guessed that it was Du Zhongxiao, but he didn't expect it to be Yang Wenguang, which made Zhuang Lang Shidao not know what to do for a while. I couldn't say the words I had thought of for a while.

Yang Wenguang saw Zhuang Lang's expression, he was a little displeased, and said, "What do you have to say, you can say it." ”

Zhuang Lang Shidao tried to ask: "Dare to ask General Yang, I don't know if Du Jingluo can be here?" ”

Yang Wenguang said: "No. ”

Zhuang Lang Shidao hesitated for a while before he said: "I don't underestimate the general, this matter is really important, and I need to meet Du Jingluo in person." ”

Yang Wenguang looked at Master Zhuang Lang and said lightly: "It depends on what you want to say, whether it's worth it." ”

Zhuang Lang Shidao gritted his teeth, looked at the pro-soldiers in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the general to retreat!" ”

Yang Wenguang waved his hand, ordered his soldiers to withdraw from the tent, and said, "Say, I have done the things on the front line!" ”

Zhuang Lang Shidao hesitated again and again in his heart, and said: "General, Zhuang Lang Assassin Shi wants to sacrifice the Vulture Sea City to return to the Song Dynasty!" This matter is very important, and I hope to let Du Jingluo discuss it in the next meeting! Zhuang Lang's assassination history is not only the assassination history of the Black Mountain Supervision Army, but also the leader of our Zhuang Lang department. It is related to the thousands of accounts of Zhuang Lang's department, and it is necessary to meet Du Jingluo in person, and he has to promise it personally, and Zhuang Lang will dare to dedicate the city! ”

"Dedication to the city?" Yang Wenguang stood up, thought about it, and turned to face Master Zhuang Lang. "If Zhuang Lang really wants to dedicate the city, you can meet the scripture. Ugly words are ahead, if it is a lie, use this to delay our siege, this matter can implicate Zhuang Langbu, do you know the consequences? ”

Seeing that Master Zhuang Lang didn't speak, Yang Wenguang said in a deep voice: "God has the virtue of a good life, and the scriptures are a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Since the formation of the army, he has never killed too much. However, if you use the fake dedication of the city to delay the war, the whole army of the Zhuang Lang Department will enter the prison city, and there will be no Zhuang Lang Department from now on! ”

Seeing Yang Wenguang's stern face, Zhuang Langshi Dao was frightened, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "General rest assured, the assassin is sincerely dedicated to the city!" ”

Yang Wenguang nodded, looked at Master Zhuang Lang for a while, and then said, "You go down to rest first, and I'll take you to see Jinglu early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhuang Langshi said: "The matter is urgent, why don't you see Du Jingluo overnight?" ”

Yang Wenguang said: "You don't need to say much, you just follow the instructions." ”

After speaking, he ordered his soldiers to come in and take Zhuang Langshi Dao to rest. He also ordered another soldier to summon Thirteen Lang.

Thirteen Lang entered the handsome tent and said to Yang Wenguang: "In today's battle, I saw it in a high place, and it was really not enjoyable." As soon as the enemy army left the city, and before they could form a formation, the general fired back with a burst of artillery! Why don't you order the cavalry to go up and slash and kill for a while! ”

Yang Wenguang invited Thirteen Lang to sit down and said, "Jinglu has repeatedly taught us that the most important thing in the two battles is to win, not to kill. At that time, the artillery was fired because the party's crossbowmen came out a lot, and they hit the enemy halfway as the art of war said. After this battle, the defenders of the city must be frightened, and they will not dare to engage our army again. When the artillery is in place, the city will be blown to pieces, saving a lot of effort. ”

Shisanlang sighed: "Since there was artillery, the war was all about artillery, the infantry did not fight, and our cavalry could only watch." If it is a field battle, it can also pursue the enemy's rout. Now it's a siege, and there is no such battle to fight. ”

Yang Wenguang smiled and said to Shisanlang: "Maybe you don't have to fight." Just now, a person came out of the city wall, saying that he was the elder of Zhuang Lang's department, and he was entrusted by Zhuang Lang to bury and protect the assassin in the city. ”

Thirteen Lang was taken aback: "The party soldiers in the city are so poor, this is going to sacrifice the city?!" ”

Yang Wenguang said: "I look at his appearance, it doesn't seem to be a fake, and the party guards may really want to sacrifice the city." This also makes sense, he is the Black Mountain Thorn of the Party and the leader of the Zhuang Lang Department. As soon as the Black Mountain Division was broken, Zhuang Lang had nothing to rely on, and if he wanted to survive, he could only rely on the imperial court. ”

Thirteen Lang thought for a while and said, "I remember that this Zhuanglang tribe is north of Montenegro, and it is the largest tribe in this area, is it so bad?" ”

Yang Wenguang said with a smile: "The largest tribe, how many households are there?" General, they have more than 3,000 accounts, but how many soldiers can be raised by a county in the mainland? We even killed the Khitan Emperor, defeated the Khitan army of 100,000, and forced back more than 100,000, he has a few heads, dare to oppose us! ”

Hearing this, Thirteen Lang rose with pride in his chest, and said: "Yes, we will defeat the Yuan again, and then kill Zong Zhen, continuously defeat more than 100,000 soldiers of the party, and force back more than 100,000 soldiers, such a big victory, no one can compare for decades!" What kind of Tibetan tribe, in front of us, is like a chicken and a dog. It's just that these big victories, I don't think it's enjoyable, but I don't want this thorn history in the city to have insight and sacrifice the city early. ”

Yang Wenguang nodded: "Yes, I have won big victories in a row, but I have never fought in battle, how could there be such a thing before?" When I think about it, it's like a dream. Perhaps, in the future, when there is a war, this is what it looks like, and it is no longer like before. Early tomorrow morning, you will take your capable subordinates to escort this Zhuang Lang master to the Tiande Army and meet the strategy. Although the Tibetan region in this area has been swept away, it is inevitable that there will be fish caught in the net, and everything is cautious on the road. ”

Thirteen Lang said: "Behind is our grain road, the cavalry has been patrolling, the carts are constant, what is the accident!" By the way, how many men will I bring with me tomorrow? If there's a big battle here, stay more. ”

Yang Wenguang said: "If what this person said is true, the enemy is going to sacrifice the city, what other big battles can there be?" Take 500 people to go, in addition to preventing accidents on the road, but also to hide people's eyes. Assassin Shi Xiancheng, the generals below may not be obedient, don't miss the news. ”

Thirteen Lang called the no. With five hundred cavalry, no party or tribe can fight, and neither can the largest Zhuang Lang department.

Before dawn on the second day, Yang Wenguang called Zhuang Lang Shidao, pointed to Thirteen Lang and said: "This is General Wu, the leader of the cavalry of this army, you follow him to see Jinglu." On the way, listen to the command of General Wu, and do not make extraneous branches. ”

Master Zhuang Lang didn't dare to say anything, and asked strangely: "Isn't Du Jingluo here?" ”

Thirteen Lang said: "What are you asking?" What kind of identity is it, how many big things are waiting for him to do, what is the little Vulture Sea City! ”

Zhuang Lang said that Thirteen Lang was tall, like a god, and said it harshly, so frightened that he didn't dare to ask again.

Bidding farewell to Yang Wenguang, Thirteen Lang ordered five hundred fine horses, took Zhuang Lang Shidao, and hurried all the way to the south. On the way, I ate some dry food, and I didn't stop, and in the evening, I arrived at the city of Tiande's army.

Seeing that Aiqi was drenched in sweat, Thirteen Lang was heartbroken, and first arranged his subordinates' mounts before taking Zhuang Langshi to the official office.

Only then did Zhuang Langshi know that Du Zhongxiao was in the Tiande Army, nearly two hundred miles away from the rear. In such a big battle, the commander of the Song army was able to fight the party without being at the front line in person, and he didn't know how Song was fighting.

After reading the Yang document brought by Shisanlang, Du Zhongxiao handed it to Han Qi and said, "I didn't expect that after a few cannons, the party guards will be sacrificed." Xianggong and I will go with me to meet this Elder Zhuang Lang, how about it? ”

Han Qi saw it and said with a smile: "He's here to see you, what am I going to do?" Zhuang Lang is just a part, a river meandering road is slight, enough! ”

Putting down the pleadings, Han Qi said: "If Zhuang Langbu really comes to surrender, and the Black Mountain Assassin Shi Xiancheng, how about the strategy?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best strategy." The so-called daughter buys horse bones, Zhuang Lang buried the fidelity and wanted to sacrifice the city, so naturally he couldn't be treated badly. To the north of Montenegro, it can still be the territory of the Zhuanglang tribe, and the soldiers and horses on the meandering road can also help him defend against the White Tatars. ”

Han Qi nodded, and said, "To do this is to win the hearts of the people." However, aren't you afraid that Zhuang Langbu will sit big? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "These days, we have been pushing nomadic herding to change from herding to herding on Hequ Road, how can Zhuanglang be an exception? There is no need to push it, as long as the tribe of Dingmu eats well and lives well, these tribes will learn. In the future, in this area, the grazing people mainly sheep, selling wool, Dongshengzhou learned from the volcanic army, spinning wool, weaving felt. Exchanging wool for food, for all kinds of clothes, how can he sit big. ”

The two discussed this matter many times, and Han Qi nodded with a smile: "Jingluo is right, as long as the wool industry is up, it will cut off the roots of the nomadic tribes' plunder." When the wool was exchanged for grain, the court pinched their rations, and no tribe was vulnerable! In this way, Jinglu can promise that as long as Zhuang Lang buries and protects the city, Zhuang Lang can get the support of the imperial court and grab the territory of White Tatar to the north! At this time, the two emperors of the Khitan stood side by side, and other places could not take care of it at all, so it was advisable to use party items to deal with the Tatars! ”

The development of the wool industry allowed the nomadic tribes to obtain a stable source of income, and then sold grain to them, which changed their living environment. The imperial court controlled the ministries and did not allow them to annex each other to prevent them from becoming bigger. Du Zhongxiao entered the river meandering road, and the future treatment plan has been planned. Sheep are the mainstay, together with the provision of concentrate and pasture, which makes it possible to graze in this area. What ensured their survival was the wool industry and food of the imperial court, and they no longer depended on the tribe. The old relations of production were changed with new productive forces, until the tribes disappeared and were completely incorporated into the rule of the imperial court.

In this transitional stage, there must be the first tribe to get the benefits, whether it is the Zhuang Lang department or what, Du Zhongxiao doesn't care, and Han Qi doesn't care either. Anyway, it will eventually disappear, so why care about it for a while?
