At the end of November of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between Jiaozhi and the Great Song Dynasty was tense, and Zhancheng sent troops to the north.

At this time, regardless of the national strength and military strength, compared with the Champ, Cochin has the absolute upper hand, and the two countries have been fighting for many years, and Champa has gradually become a place where the king of Cochin has established his prestige. But no matter how advantageous it is, it cannot be ignored, and the soldiers and horses in the south of Cochin are basically all dragged by the occupied city.

At the same time, Feng Shenji, who inspected the three prefectures of Yong, Qin, and Lian, moved to Qinzhou, gathered soldiers and horses from eight prefectures, including Bin, Heng, and Xiang, in Qin and Lianzhou, repaired warships, and made a posture of wanting to cross the sea and attack.

Qinzhou is the main communication line between the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi, and it is also the main direction of attack of the previous dynasties to conquer Jiaozhi. On land, it threatens the first line of Sumaozhou, and at sea, you can take the monsoon to reach the mouth of the Taiping River, and go up along the Taiping River until the city of Thang Long Fu, the capital of Jiaozhi.

Compared with the thousands of Yongzhou Xiang troops who crossed the mountains and mountains here in Xu Ping, Feng Shenji's naval offensive was more deadly in the eyes of the Jiaozhi people, and it must be guarded against. Its troops in the northeast were fully engaged in defending the first line of Sumaozhou, while in the central part they were heavily armed at the mouth of the Taiping River, and other armies were deployed along the Taiping River.

A little on the left and a little on the right, the soldiers and horses who were already small in Jiaozhi looked nervous.

At this time, because of Xu Ping's raid on Langzhou, Jiatong went to Shenglong Mansion to ask for help, and Li Fuma fought back and forth, and could only fight 5,000 people in the northwest states, and temporarily went to the direction of Jiatong for emergency. Just these 5,000 people, it is not enough to be in place at once, so you have to wait for a month.

Jia Chenggui was in a hurry, and once again sent his cronies to Shenglong Mansion, saying that the troops in the direction of Xuping in Yongzhou were strong, with tens of thousands of troops and thousands of cavalry. If Cochin does not strengthen the defense of the north, Langzhou will be lost. The army of the Song Dynasty could go south. Thang Long Province can't be saved.

It turned out to be too exaggerated this time. The entire area south of the Yangtze River in the Great Song Dynasty did not have tens of thousands of troops, and the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the West Road of Guangnan were all supported by Xu Ping's cane sugar and grain. Li Foma believed his words and was hell-stricken, and even the military situation in Yongzhou that he had said earlier became suspicious, but he only sent two thousand local soldiers from the prefectures and counties north of the Fuliang River to reluctantly send Jia Chenggui.

Out of prudence, Li Foma ordered the main force of Jiaozhi stationed in Thang Long Province to divide more than 10,000 people and go out of the Phu Liang River. If there is a real accident in Jiadong, it can be reversed.

In this era, there was no communication equipment, and the understanding of the situation in various places was to listen to one ear and one ear to the west. Xu Ping made a lot of trouble in Zuojiang Road, and when he arrived in front of Li Zhima, the news was only how much silver sugar was produced in a year, and he barely knew that he had done the bracket method, and the specific content of the bracket method was not clear.

With a wealth of more than 10 million yuan every year, Li Foma was red-eyed, but he knew that the border mountains between the two countries were difficult to travel, and the Great Song Dynasty was really a behemoth in the eyes of Jiaozhi. The wealth of the sugar cane business is only drooling.

With his own insurmountable mountains, how could Li Foma believe that Xu Ping could come and go freely? Yongzhou has a total of more than 7,000 troops. Youjiang Road and Yongzhou City were divided into two thousand, Xu Pingman was full of five thousand troops, considering the road situation, it would be good to have two or three thousand people in the territory of Jiaozhi.

It is on the basis of this realization that Livermar thinks that he has been well prepared. It was really unreasonable by Xu Ping to break through Jiatong and occupy Langzhou, and more than 10,000 people on the Fuliang River were still able to recapture it.

As for the township soldiers of the cane sugar business, when will the township soldiers be counted as soldiers? To be able to deliver grain and grass honestly is already remarkable. Normally, it is just to take on the task of transporting food, and if enough troops watch, they themselves will run away without a shadow.

Five days after Sang Yi led his troops and horses to Langzhou, the news that Qiyuan Prefecture was broken by the Song army came, and Jia Chenggui could no longer sit still in Jiatong, so he sent his eldest son Jia Jirong to Menzhou to visit Xu Ping and find out his bottom.

Jia Jirong left Jiatong with a few personal soldiers, and there was no longer the ease of going to Pingxiangtong last time. Along the way, I watched the depression around Langzhou in the north and south, and even many cities and towns were sparsely populated, and I still haven't recovered from the fright of the arrival of the Song army last time, and my mood is even heavier.

At this point, Jia Jirong gradually understood that his previous estimate of Zuo Jiangdao's current strength was ridiculously wrong. The terrible thing is that this kind of mistake continues in others.

The military village of Kuma Mountain is still the same as it was a few days ago, with broken walls, burned houses, and even the corpses of those local soldiers are still piled up there.

This scene frightened the surrounding residents, and a radius of two or three miles became a forbidden area, and no one dared to approach it, and the traffic from Langzhou to Menzhou was effectively cut off after that night.

Xu Ping originally expected that Jiatong would organize manpower to seize time to rebuild the village, but in fact, they didn't have the courage at all, and they didn't even dare to bury the corpses piled up in Jingguan.

Jia Jirong stopped in front of the ruins for a while, didn't say a word, lowered his head and rode slowly through the abandoned military village on his horse, heading to Menzhou.

Silently walked for nearly ten miles, there was no one on the road, and in the sky decorated with the miserable white sun, occasionally a bird flew by with a mournful cry, adding to the desolation.

The Kuoma Mountain behind him slowly turned into a vague shadow, and there were farmers grazing cattle in the rice fields on the side of the road, and Jia Jirong knew that he had entered the territory of Menzhou.

Not long after entering Menzhou, military tents appeared in the valley by the roadside, and many horses were scattered on the surrounding hillsides, bathing in the sun and grazing leisurely.

Jia Jirong saw it from a distance, and his heart was like a stone.

This is the Great Song cavalry that entered Langzhou that night, they were still here, so which soldiers and horses attacked Qiyuan Prefecture? How many people did Xu Ping gather in this area? The more I thought about Jia Jirong, the more chilled I felt.

There was a checkpoint set up by the officers and soldiers on the road, and when I saw Jia Jirong and his party from a distance, twenty or thirty horsemen flashed out in the distance, watching from a distance on two wings, and did not come up to stop them.

At the checkpoint, a team leader shouted, "Who's coming?" Dismount early! This is the territory of Dasongmen Prefecture, and Jiaozhi people are not allowed to pass! ”

Jia Jirong beckoned the people around him to get off the horse, and replied: "I am the eldest son of Jiaozhi Changzhou Thorn History, the eldest son of Jiazhi Prefecture in Langzhou, and I came to meet the officials of Xu Ping of Zuojiang Province in the Great Song Dynasty on my father's orders!" ”

"What is Jiazhizhou, I have only heard of the surname of Langzhou Zhizhou, surnamed Li!"

Hearing the answer of the Song army general, Jia Jirong said helplessly: "It's Jiaozhi Langzhou!" ”

The team general shouted: "Langzhou is my Great Song Dynasty, are you here to find ballast?" ”

"Cochin also has a state of forgiveness-"

At this moment, Jia Jirong suddenly felt a little weak in saying this. Just a few days ago, he thought that it was natural for Langzhou to belong to Jiaozhi, and suddenly everything changed.

When the team general heard this, he no longer paid attention to Jia Jirong, and discussed with a few of his own people around him in a low voice. After a while, he said loudly: "In that case, do you have any paperwork?" I'll hand it back for you to report, and the officials won't see you. Without the permission of the promotion official, not a single Jiaozhi person here can be let go! ”

(Today's state is very bad, I feel a little reluctant to write, readers forgive me.) (To be continued.) )
