Chapter 415 The evil recipe: the locust plague is about to happen

"Momibu Mengti has met General Fan!"

Monty has a strong build, dark skin, and a savage appearance, with the aura of Lin Mang blowing against his face.

Fan Zheng turned a deaf ear and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the Mengti tribe was a loyal minister of Dali, but was framed by the Gao family. Now that the Gao family has usurped power, forced Emperor Baoding to become a monk, and established Duan Zhengchun as a puppet emperor, the Song Dynasty naturally cannot Let this rebellious minister and traitor be tolerated. The purpose of sending troops today is to support the orthodoxy of the Duan family in Dali, and we specially invite the leader of the Monti clan to participate in this grand event."

The place where the Momi tribe had lived for generations was Shicheng. After the Gao family took control of the power, they expanded each other wantonly, turning Shicheng into Gao's private domain and expelling him. Naturally, Monty was gnashing his teeth at the Gao family.

However, the Gao family controlled the military and political power of Dali, so Monty could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

Blessings come from misfortunes, misfortunes come from blessings. The Gao family expelled the Mengti and Momi tribes from Shicheng, just in time to avoid the attack of the Song army and the plundering of the southwestern Yi tribes, and finally survived.

"The Gao family has usurped power and everyone has it and kills them. Now that the imperial army has come, the end of the Gao family will surely come. Monti has not yet thanked the imperial army for retaking Shicheng for my Momi tribe!"

Although Monty had been in contact with the Luo family for a long time, he was still afraid of the power of the Gao family and did not dare to cooperate with the Song army. Now that the Song army defeated Gao Sheng'an's 40,000 army in one fell swoop, Monty couldn't wait to come, and the purpose was very Obviously, he wanted to return to his lost territory of Shicheng.

Fan Zheng looked at Meng Ti with a half-smile and said, "If Chief Meng Ti had cooperated with the Song army before the battle of Shicheng, everything would have been easy. Now that the Song army has captured Shicheng, how can it be easily handed over to the Momi tribe? Even if Fan agrees, the soldiers under Fan’s command will not agree, and the southwest troops participating in the siege will not agree either.”

"That's right! We are taking the stone city from the Gao family, not from the Momi tribe." Yang Changchun cooperated.

The Tian family and the Song family also agreed, and even the Luo family, who was friends with the Momi tribe, remained silent. After all, the battle in Shicheng was all their fault.

Monty couldn't help but look embarrassed, and immediately said: "Shicheng is the hometown of the Momi tribe. If the general can return it, he will definitely gain the friendship of the Momi tribe, and even the friendship of the entire thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan."

Mengti's words were vaguely threatening. Obviously, if the Song Dynasty did not return Shicheng, Mengti might even become the enemy of the Song army in the thirty-seven eastern Yunnan tribes.

Yang Bangyi couldn't help but feel nervous. Although it was so easy for them to attack the Gao family, Shicheng and others were white barbarians who lived on the plains, while the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan lived in the forests of the southwest. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, he can hide in the mountains and forests at any time, making him completely undefeable.

"The power of the Great Song Zhentian Thunder is unparalleled, and it is not afraid of any enemy!" Fan Zheng counterattacked directly.

Monty couldn't help being shocked. He was on good terms with Luo Shi, so of course he knew more information about the Great Song Dynasty Zhentian Lei. This kind of weapon was simply beyond human power, not to mention that the Song Army and the southwestern Yi tribes now had 100,000 troops. Just now After defeating the 40,000 Shanchan Fucheng army, they will naturally not be afraid of the threat of the Momi tribe. Even if all the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan are gathered together, they may not be able to pose a threat to the Song army.

"It is not impossible for the Momi tribe to return to Shicheng." Fan Zheng changed his words.

"Seriously? I wonder what General Fan needs Monty to do?"

Monty couldn't help but said in surprise, of course he also knew that Song Jun would definitely have conditions.

"If you want Stone City, Mengti Department needs to exchange it for Shanchanfu City."

"Shanchan Fucheng!" Monty couldn't help being surprised.

As the Thirty-Seventh Tribe of Eastern Yunnan, he naturally knew how easy to defend Shanchanfu City was and how difficult it was to attack. If the Momi Tribe had the strength to attack Shanchanfu City, how could they be expelled from Shicheng by the Gao family.

"General Fan thinks highly of the Momi tribe. The strength of the Momi tribe alone cannot capture Shanchanfu City." Monty said bitterly.

"It may not be possible to rely solely on the strength of the Momi tribe, but what about the entire thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan?" Fan Zheng asked.

"The thirty-seventh division of Eastern Yunnan?"

Monty looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.

Fan Zhenglang said loudly: "As far as Fan knows, the Thirty-Seven Tribes of Eastern Yunnan and the Gao family have always had a grudge. Shanchanfu was defeated in this battle, and the city of Shanchanfu must be empty of troops. If the Momi tribe can incite other tribes to cooperate with the Song army, After conquering Shanchanfu City, the Song army can return Shicheng to the Momi tribe!"

Monty was immediately overjoyed and said: "The Gao family and my Momi tribe are feuding, and Monty will definitely do his best. He will live up to General Fan's expectations!"

For Meng Ti, inciting other tribes to capture Shanchanfu City in one fell swoop was a double-edged sword. He could not only obtain the stone city in the future, but also avenge the Gao family.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "This general can guarantee that all tribes participating in the city's destruction can share the wealth of Shanchan Mansion City!"

Monti suddenly became more confident. The thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan were already dissatisfied with the Gao family, but because the Gao family controlled the power in Dali, they could only swallow their anger. Now that the Song army is attacking and the Gao family is about to be destroyed, they can take the opportunity to take revenge. The revenge of arrows, not to mention the temptation of wealth in Shanchan Fucheng.

At that moment, Monty hurried away and began to contact other tribes in eastern Yunnan.

After Monti left, Yang Bangyi frowned and said: "General Fan, the Song army captured Shicheng. Is it really going to be handed over to the Momi tribe?"

Fan Zheng glanced at Yang Bangyi and said: "It is impossible for the Song Dynasty to completely occupy Dali. If you want to truly control Dali, you must cooperate with the natives of Dali, and the barbaric, uncivilized and weak Momi tribe is the best partner. , and Shicheng is located at the rear of our army, so appeasing the Momi tribe is enough to ensure that our army has a worry-free way back."

"But if the Momi tribe gets Shicheng, will the tail be lost?" Yang Bangyi asked worriedly.

Fan Zheng snorted coldly: "What we are fighting against is the whole of Dali. If later generations can't even deal with a small Momi tribe occupying the stone city, it can only be due to their incompetence!"

Yang Bangyi couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "If the general wants to share the wealth of Shanchan Mansion with the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan, will it cause dissatisfaction among the tribes in southwestern Yi!"

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The tribes of the southwestern barbarians follow the Song army to seek wealth, so naturally they will not fight for the Song army to attack Shanchanfu City, but the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan are not like that. They have a feud with the Gao family, regardless of Whether it is for revenge or for the wealth of Shanchan Mansion, we will naturally do our best to attack Shanchan Mansion. Of course, if there are tribes from the southwestern barbarians who are willing to attack Shanchan Mansion City as a vanguard, they can also share a share."

"The general is wise!"

Yang Bangyi was convinced and said that in this way, the Song army could make the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan and the southwestern barbarians the vanguard without any effort.

"What's more, once the Thirty-seven East Yunnan tribes taste the sweetness of plunder, how can they hold back when they target the Baiman who have a feud." Fan Zheng sneered.

Yang Bangyi couldn't help but said in shock: "The general is planning to let the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan join in the robbery!"

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why the locust plague causes endless harm is not only its greedy appetite, but more importantly, its ever-increasing number. The locust plague has first gathered in Shicheng County, and when it reaches Shanchan Mansion, the locust plague will finally take shape until Sweeping the whole of Dali."

Yang Bangyi opened his mouth wide and wanted to persuade, but finally backed down.     ……………………

"The Gao family has been defeated!"

When Gao Sheng'an fled to Shanchanfu City with the remaining defeated generals, the entire Shanchanfu City was shocked!

No one expected that Gao Sheng'an confidently went out with 40,000 soldiers, but only 10,000 of them escaped. What frightened Shanchanfu City was that the number of enemies turned out to be 100,000.

"Lord Fu Yin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend the city of Shanchan. We'd better retreat to Dali!" an official said timidly.

Other officials were silent. If Shanchanfu City had 40,000 soldiers and horses, it might be possible to defend Shanchanfu City. However, now there are only 10,000 remaining defeated soldiers in Shanchanfu City. Even the remaining soldiers and horses are only more than 20,000. , there is no way to stop a hundred thousand enemies.

Not to mention that the enemy also has gunpowder weapons such as Zhentianlei to attack the city. If they are trapped in Shanchanfu City, they may only die. However, Dali City has gathered Dali soldiers and horses, and its defensive strength far exceeds that of Shanchanfu City. It is the safest in the world. place.

A hint of madness appeared on Gao Sheng'an's face: "Retreat, where to retreat? Shanchan Mansion is the place where the Gao family thrives. Without Shanchan Mansion, the Gao family will completely lose power.

You must know that the Gao family has just usurped power. Although it has abdicated and returned it to the Duan family, it still controls the power of Dali. Once the Gao family loses power, the end will probably be extremely miserable.

All the officials were silent.

"Shanchanfu City is not without a chance to defend it. Although the Song and Southwest Yi coalition forces numbered 100,000 people, the Song people simply could not control the plundering of the Southwest Yi tribes. This gave us time. We need to destroy the Southwest Yi forces as soon as possible. The brutality was widely publicized, and all surrounding villages were abandoned and all gathered in Shanchanfu City. Everyone, men, women, old and young, went up to the city wall to defend, so that they could have a chance to defend the Song army." An official said.

Gao Sheng'an couldn't wait to say: "Immediately follow the instructions, pass the order, open the treasury and granary, and all men must participate in defending the city!"

At that moment, the entire Shanchanfu City was immediately mobilized and began to strengthen the city defense offensive. Under the panic of the Southwest Yi raids and the forced orders of Shanchanfu City, the people of Shanchanfu abandoned their weakly defended villages and poured into Shanchanfu City. .

The defensive power of the entire Shanchan City expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Gao Sheng'an feel a little more at ease.

"Report to the governor, there is a troop of troops coming from outside the city!" Suddenly a spy came in a hurry to report.

"But the Song Army is here?" Gao Sheng'an said in a trembling voice, feeling a sense of fear in his heart. It was obvious that the power of the Song Army in the previous battle left a deep impression on him.

"No! It's the Buxiong, Xiuzhi, and Maitreya tribes of the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan, with about 3,000 troops." the spy replied.

Gao Sheng'an breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time couldn't help frowning and said: "These three groups are so kind and help the Gao family."

The Gao family has continued to expand over the years, and its relationship with the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan is extremely tense. These three tribes are all in the south of Shanchan Prefecture. Although they are not as feuding as the Momi tribe, their relationship with the Gao family is usually not good.

"Let's go! Go to the city gate!" Gao Sheng Andexun immediately rushed to the south gate.

Climbing the city wall, I saw three troops already making noise outside the south city gate.

"Hurry up and open the door! I came to support under the king's order. Is this how the Gao family treats the reinforcements?" Outside the city gate, the three tribes of people shouted in an extremely arrogant manner.

"Master Fu Yin, what should I do?" Looking at the attitude of the three troops, the city wall guard frowned.

The relationship between these three tribes and the Gao family is not good, and now the sudden arrival of help naturally makes Shanchan Fucheng wary.

Gao Sheng'an stepped forward and said loudly: "Where is the leader of the Xiuzhi tribe?"

In an instant, a shrewd old man came out and said: "The Cuan Sheng of the Xiuzhi Department is here."

Gao Sheng'an asked bluntly: "Shanchan Fucheng didn't invite Xiu Zhi Sanbu. How could you be so kind?"

Not to mention the previous grievances, because of the Gao family's usurpation of the throne, the Thirty-seven tribes in Eastern Yunnan were quite dissatisfied with the Gao family, and the Gao family was also very wary of them and did not invite them at all, but they did not expect that they would come without invitation. Come.

Cuansheng responded in a loud voice: "If the king's order had not been issued by the Duan family, how could we have come to your Shanchan Mansion? Besides, those southwestern barbarians are too ruthless. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. Thirty-seven of East Yunnan You and Gao's lips will be dead and your teeth will be cold, otherwise Gao's today will be the tomorrow we are waiting for."

Gao Sheng'an fell into silence. Cuan Sheng's words were very straightforward and reasonable.

The news of rescuing Shanchanfu City this time was sent by Gao Shengtai in the name of Duan Zhengchun, and the Duan clan of Dali and the Thirty-seventh Tribe of Eastern Yunnan are allies, and they can indeed be mobilized, not to mention that they have nothing to do with these three tribes. Too much grudge.

As for the words of the Southwestern Yihan, Gao Sheng'an also agrees that these southwestern barbarians are simply a group of robbers. If the Gao family is destroyed, the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan will probably not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the southwestern barbarians, or at least a large sum of money will be extorted. .

However, Gao Sheng'an was still wary and did not dare to easily let go of his power and enter Shanchanfu City.

When Cuan Sheng saw this, he couldn't help but sneered: "You think I am willing to help your Gao family. Anyway, we have sent people to support you, which is an explanation to your majesty. Since the Gao family doesn't believe me, then why should I take the risk to help you?" You guys, the worst we can do is hide in the woods in the southwest, and then come out after the Song army and the southwestern Yi have left."

Cuan Sheng waved his hand and immediately led the three men back the way they came.

"Master Fu Yin, if we refuse the help of the Three Ministries of Xiuzhi, I am afraid that we will completely lose the help of the Thirty-Seven East Yunnan Ministries." Upon seeing this, the Dali official immediately persuaded.

Everyone knows that once the three troops leave, the matter will definitely spread throughout the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan, and no one will send reinforcements to help.

Nowadays, the defensive power of Shanchan Mansion is very weak. If we continue to reject the troops of the Thirty-Seventh Division of Eastern Yunnan, Shanchan Mansion City will be isolated and helpless, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before it is breached.

Gao Sheng'an looked at Cuan Sheng leaving with Xiuzhi Sanbu, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.

It wasn't until the troops of the Third Division were about to disappear that Gao Sheng'an gritted his teeth and said, "Come, prepare a heavy gift and invite the troops of the Three Divisions back!"

He had seen with his own eyes the power of the Song Dynasty's gunpowder weapons, and he had already been frightened. Without the help of the Thirty-seven East Yunnan Divisions, Shanchanfu City would have been very unlikely to be defended.

In this case, why not take a gamble and believe that the Thirty-seven Eastern Yunnan Divisions may still have a chance to defend Shanchanfu City.
