Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Yangjubaa city!

When the news of Gu Yuanda's death in battle and the defeat of the Shenggong's defenders reached Gao Fang, the founder of the Gao Clan in Dali Kingdom turned pale for an instant, slumped powerlessly on a chair and said in a daze, "God... ...death to me!"

In the contest between a weak country and a strong country, a weak country may not be invincible.But the weak country can't make any mistakes...

One failure, the impact will be irreversible.

The fall of Shenggongfu was not simply a loss of territory, it meant that Dayu's army could drive straight to Lijiang.

Lijiang is located under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep. The mountains are steep and straight, and the rivers cut through them.Keeping this place can echo with Longshou Mountain, which relies on Diancang Mountain.Garrisoning troops around the two places, interdependent, can well contain Dayu's attacking army...

According to Gao Fang's original plan, Yang Jian's troops were stationed in Lijiang, and he personally led the troops to guard Longshou Pass. Both sides fought against the incoming enemy.

Now that Dayu has defeated Sheng Gongfu, they can reach Lijiang in at most two days at the speed of their Qingqi, and Yang Jianbu has no time to support them.

Dong Jun's scalp was also numb at the moment, and he said, "Yuehou, why don't you let General Fu rush to Lijiang first? When Yang Jian arrives, then switch defenses?"

"No!" Gao Fang resolutely said: "Our strength is not enough. We can only choose one of Lijiang and Longshou Pass. If we force both, we will end up with nothing. After Longshou Pass is our Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Although Lijiang is heavy, It is far inferior to Longshou Pass."

"It's just..." Dong Jun worried: "If we guard Longshou Pass together with Yang Hou, I'm afraid something big will happen."

This is what Gao Fang is most worried about now. As old opponents who have been at odds for 30 years, they know as much about the internal situation of the Yang family as they do of the Yang family itself. Separate garrisons and cooperation in the two places are not only necessary for geography, but also to avoid deep grievances between the two sides. , Infighting at critical times.

Of course, Gao Fang was also worried about Dayu's infiltration of the Gao family: their territory was far away from Dayu's borders, and there were still some people who superficially admired the Central Plains culture and were doing treason and seeking glory.The strange thing is that the other party is not Dayu's secret work at all, it is purely his own bones and contempt, wishful thinking for Dayu to be a dog.

As far as this dog-raising technology is concerned, Gao Fang does not believe that Yang's allied forces whose territories directly border Dayu are not polluted...

Longshouguan is the last barrier to defend Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and it is the gateway to Yangjumei City, the capital of the country. Once there is an accident, his Gao family's foundation will not survive.

Gao Fang didn't dare to bet his fortune on his old opponent, gritted his teeth, and finally made a difficult decision: "Let them go back..."

Their strength could not be compared with Dayu's, and without Yang Jian's support, their chances of winning were even slimmer.

It's just that Gao Fang understands that it is impossible for Yang Jian's people to help defend at Longshouguan, and the other party will not be happy to keep the other party as a deputy. It is easy to cause conflicts, and it will make the situation worse...

Instead of facing many uneasy factors, it is better to be decisive and decisive, to erase the unknown future troubles, and to survive from death.

Xichang City, Jianchang Prefecture.

Cao Bin, who arrived at the front line, had just entered the city to rest when he received a good news from Li Jilong.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, the commander of the Dayu Southwest Military Region looked incredulous, but without any hesitation, he said, "Immediately order Li Jilong to ignore the remnants of Gu Yuanda's troops and rush directly to Lijiang, the first step." Occupy this place and block the soldiers of the Gao family and the Yang family at Longshou pass."

Cao Bin didn't know Gao Fang's plan, but he had his attack strategy.

The core of this battle is not elsewhere, but at the Longshou Pass.

Winning the Longshou Pass means the downfall of the Dali Gao Clan...

There is no need to attack Yangjumei City, the capital of Dali.

The terrain of Dali is different from that of the Central Plains. The city of Yangjubaa is built on the hillside, so it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.However, due to the narrow terrain, the city of Yangjubaa is not large in size, and it is only restricted to the nobles, and the common people live mixed around the Cangshan Mountain and the Erhai Lake.

After winning the Longshou Pass, these common people will fall into Cao Bin's hands. What else can Yangjumei City be like an isolated city?

Cao Bin had many plans in his mind, the most ideal of which was to force the entire army of Dali to the Longshou Pass and fight a decisive battle around the Longshou Pass.

Now Li Jilong has created this opportunity to break through Shenggong with two thousand vanguard troops.

After the order was given, Cao Bin looked at Quan Shixiong and said, "You are truly a formidable young man. This son is bold in his military operations, meticulous in his observations, and has both courage and strategy. He is beyond my reach in the future."

Quan Shixiong also looked surprised and said: "Gu Yuanda is one of the four generals of Dali. He is famous for his prudence. It is embarrassing that he does not want to die due to his prudence."

Quan Shixiong is also an ambitious person. After studying the generals of Dali, he thinks that Gu Yuanda is the most difficult to deal with because he is too stable.

In the end, he died on this "stability".

Cao Bin said with a smile: "Meeting Li Jilong is bad luck." He paused and said: "This kid is not the master of peace, don't ruin my big business, the governor, you lead the troops to go quickly." Support, before our army arrives, make sure Dali's reinforcements cannot leave Longshou pass."

Quan Shixiong saw that Cao Bin was so attached to Longshouguan, and knew that he must have intentions, so he immediately took orders and left.

Cao Bin rested in the city overnight and continued to march towards Lijiang.

Before going to Shenggong, I got the news that Gao Fang refused Yang's reinforcements.

Cao Bin regretted to himself, and thought to himself: "An old fox is an old fox. At this critical moment, he can still sort out right from wrong..."

It is indeed a pity that he failed to win the Dragon Shouguan, but Cao Bin was not depressed. This is a kind of conspiracy.

Dali is already a small country, and now it is divided into two, how long can it resist?

Sheng Gongzhi fell prematurely, and Gao and Yang could not work together, which doomed Dali's end.

In the seventh year of Yongjing's reign, on November [-]th, Cao Bin wiped out the main force of the Gao clan of the Dali Army at Longshouguan.

On November [-], the whole army arrived at Yangjubaa City with troops.

On the 21st, Emperor Duan Sicong of Dali surrendered with his seal.

After Cao Bin accepted Duan Sicong's surrender, he did not launch an attack on Shanchan Mansion, but sent envoys to various ministries to recruit them to surrender, and he calmed down the people in Yangjumei City and stabilized the order.

On the 25th, Tong Yuanfang of the Yeju tribe attacked and killed Yang Jian of the Yang family, and took his head and led the Yeju tribe to surrender to Cao Bin.

Cao Bin immediately arranged for Yejubu to move to the bank of Erhai Lake, the most affluent place in Dali.

For a moment, everyone in Dali and Baiyi was frightened, fearing that they would be killed by their "own people", and they all surrendered one after another.

On December 28, the entire territory of Dali was surrendered, leaving only the remnants of small tribes who did not want to be controlled and hid in the mountains and forests. It will take some time to clear them up slowly.

From the expedition in September to the end of December, it took only three months before and after the fall of Dali.

When Luo Youdu was attached to Dali, it was already the Shangyuan Festival in the eighth year of Yongjing.

Luo Youdu is still celebrating with the people in Luoyang.

Since the first Lantern Festival in Luoyang, people will go to Luoyang to celebrate the New Year in the second half of every year.

Luo Youdu was no exception to the fact that Dali did not support him for three months.

The gap in national power is too great, Dayu is now a giant, and has the potential to crush small countries.

Dali has been established for a short time, the domestic people's hearts are unstable, and there are many internal contradictions.

If it weren't for the dangerous terrain, let alone three months, it wouldn't last a month.

"Invincible, really lonely!"

Luo Youdu stretched a lot, feeling that he lacked interest, so he really looked around, and there was no one who could beat him.

Now the only thing that can cheer him up is the Western Regions...

Thinking of the Western Regions, Luo Youdu couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly. With the news of the Western Regions coming in these years, he already has a certain understanding of the West.

In his eyes, there is no one who can fight, not only Dali, Southeast Asia, but also the Western Regions.

Now there is no real power in the West. The invincible Dashi that was able to challenge the Tang Dynasty in the past has split into multiple countries. The Caliph is almost a replica of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It exists like a puppet. objects.

On the contrary, Byzantium, known as the Eastern Roman Empire, has improved somewhat. Under the leadership of Basil I, they attacked in all directions and achieved certain results, but they were not weak, and they were not really strong.

No wonder that in history, Yelu Dashi led a group of remnants who were beaten away by the Jin soldiers and were able to dominate Central Asia.

"Come here, go and invite Holy Maiden Mu Ning into the palace."

Luo Youdu did not despise everything in the West because of this, but regarded it as the most important opponent.Even if the opponent is as weak as a rabbit, he will do his best to fight.

There is no other reason, Huaxia cannot afford a second defeat in the West.

In history, the Talas War between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, although it is a little bit far-reaching, it actually had a far-reaching impact.

Chinese culture has a very terrifying influence. Even in the future, the surrounding countries of China can vaguely see the elements of Han culture. Most of the neighboring countries grew up under the nourishment of Chinese culture.Only the west side has been severely eroded by Western culture.

It has to be said that the defeat of Talas completely destroyed the Han culture in the Western Regions.

The later Song Dynasty was so weak that it couldn't even keep its basic base, let alone the Western Regions.

The Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to the Western Regions for various reasons, so that it was eroded by Western culture.

He has come here in this life, and he has come to this step today.We will definitely not repeat the same mistakes, let the West experience the feeling of Kong Shengren, a 1.9-meter Shandong man, leading [-] people to walk in the territory.

"The daughter of the people has seen His Majesty!"

Mu Ning was wearing a red padded jacket, and his blue eyes were as bright as the sky.

Luo Youdu let her take a seat and asked about the development of Manichaeism.

There was a hint of joy in Mu Ning's words, and he said: "The missionary work in the West has been very smooth. Ganzhou Uighurs and Gaochang Uighurs have sent envoys to Luoyang to obtain scriptures and teachings. Sutra, Jingming Treasure Sutra, and Secret Dharma Sutra are very popular, and I specially invited the apostles to Ganzhou and Gaochang to promote them.”

At the beginning, Mu Ning was extremely repulsive to the Chinese Manichaeism, but he was powerless to resist and could only be forced to accept it.

But with the promotion of Manichaeism in the Han Dynasty, they found that no matter the people of Dayu, or the Uighur people of Ganzhou and Gaochang, they all liked the Mingzun who could be connected with Zhu Rong and Dayu, and the growth rate of believers was far faster than before. ...

Mu Ning looked at the Mingzun holy fire that was burning more and more vigorously, and he couldn't escape the law of true fragrance.
