Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"How can this be?"

Everyone in the Song army was in disbelief. They had just retreated from Longshou Pass. They knew very well how tenacious the resistance of the Dali defenders was.

Moreover, the Dali garrison was far from being at the end of its rope, and it was impossible for them to surrender.

"Could this be a fake surrender?"

Yao Xiong said half-convinced.

Zeng Bu couldn't help but be a little confused. After all, the two sides were fighting, and the Song army did not have the upper hand, but the other side suddenly surrendered. How could he not be suspicious.

"Did you pretend to surrender at first sight and open the city gates in broad daylight?" Zhong Pu frowned.

The usual false surrenders were all about secretly instigating rebellion against enemy generals, only to be tricked by the enemy generals. However, the Song Dynasty had no contact with the enemy generals, and did not have any secret agreement with the Dali defenders. It did not meet the conditions for false surrender at all.

Not to mention that Longshou Pass opened all the originally closed city gates, which was not consistent with signs of false surrender.

"Could it be that the Dali Army really wants to surrender?" Yao Xiong also wavered.

Zeng Bu said solemnly: "Whether the Dali defenders are really surrendering or pretending to surrender, just go and make contact. Send an order to prepare thunder. Even if they are pretending to surrender, they must blast a way through Longshou Pass."

The Song Army immediately sent envoys again, arriving at Longshou Pass as if they were facing a formidable enemy. When he heard the reason for the surrender of Longshou Pass, he couldn't help but open his eyes.

After a long time, the Song envoy returned to the Song army with a complicated expression.

"What did the defenders of Longshou Pass say?"

Zeng Bu said impatiently.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why Longshou Pass surrendered is because the Eastern Route Army of the evil doctor Fan Zheng has captured Dali City!"

"what!"

Suddenly, the generals of the Song Dynasty couldn't help but raise their voices with shock on their faces. This news shocked them even more than the surrender of Longshou Pass.

"Is this impossible? This must be an excuse to pretend to surrender at Longshou Pass." Zeng Bu said with contempt.

He pretended to surrender at Longshou Pass, but he also made up an impossible reason, which was directly seen through by his sharp eyes.

"The East Route Army is a bunch of rabble, how can they break through Longwei Pass?" A Song general couldn't believe it. They used the most elite troops of the Song Army and used the most powerful weapons to attack Longshou Pass, but still failed to achieve an inch.

The Longshou Pass and Longwei Pass were equally dangerous. The evil doctor Fan Zheng led a group of ragtag men and it was impossible to storm the Longwei Pass.

Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong looked at each other and said, "General, I believe that the Eastern Route Army's statement about the attack on Dali City is true. Fan Taicheng has long been said to be indestructible to evil forces. If Zhong doesn't predict, Fan Taicheng will definitely do so." He used a cunning plan to conquer Dali City."

Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong were favored by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and they believed in Fan Zheng's evil prescription.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

All the Song generals fell silent. They would have scorned the others. However, facing the evil doctor Fan Zheng, they still had to keep their faith even if the things were unbelievable.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty was shocked and said: "What the defenders of Longshou Pass said was that Fan Taicheng gathered elite troops to cross Cangshan Mountain. Dali City was defenseless and the west gate was breached in one fell swoop."

"Cross the Cangshan Mountain!"

All the Song generals were dumbfounded, looking at the snow-capped Cangshan Mountain. How could this be climbed by human power?

"This must be the evil recipe of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Not all of Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and there are also many low places." Yao Xiong was astonished and said in admiration.

"Even if there are low places that are possible to climb over, as for Cangshan Mountain, there are poisonous insects everywhere, miasma is permeated, and people are killed invisibly. Even if we climb over Cangshan Mountain, there will be heavy casualties. How can we have the energy to attack the defense? It is not inferior to Longshou Pass. Dali City." Zeng Bu still couldn't believe that the Eastern Route Army really captured Dali City. He imagined that the Song Army crossed Cangshan Mountain to attack Dali City. This dangerous journey alone would cost most of the Song soldiers, and the rest If they fight with the Dali defenders again, the final result will be a narrow escape.

Zhong Pu shook his head and said: "If we implement this evil method, it will definitely be extremely risky. However, Fan Taicheng's Eastern Route Army has a large number of the Thirty-six Eastern Yunnan tribes and the Southwest Yi tribes. These are all good at walking through the forest. , enough to withstand Lin Mang's risk, and you must not forget that Fan Taicheng's nickname is the evil doctor Fan Zheng. His greatest ability is that of a healer. Fan Taicheng's medical skills, coupled with the familiarity of Lin Mang from various departments in the southwest, are simply a match made in heaven. Enough to successfully cross Cangshan Mountain."

The hearts of all the Song generals were moved. What Zhong Pu said was indeed justified. Lin Mang had a great risk of swallowing people's lives, but the evil doctor Fan Zheng's medical skills could save countless lives. The evil doctor Fan Zheng came to implement the evil method of crossing Cangshan Mountain. , coupled with the local advantages of the southwestern barbarians, this side has a great chance of success.

"And the main force traveling through Linmang this time must be the southwestern barbarians. The Song army is limited in number. If this method succeeds, the Song Dynasty can conquer Dali City at the minimum cost. If this method fails, the Song army's losses can be accepted, and there will be opportunities for a strong attack in the future. After capturing Longwei Pass, if I were Fan Taicheng, I would definitely use this evil recipe without hesitation." Zhong Pu exclaimed.

All the Song generals nodded one after another. At this moment, they truly believed that Longshou Pass had truly surrendered, because the method of crossing Cangshan Mountain was exactly the same as the evil doctor Fan Zheng's style.

"A plan to help others!"

All the Song generals could not help but think of a word.

At the beginning, the evil doctor Fan Zheng used the "good office" strategy to attack Dali from the east and took the lead in attacking Dali City. But now, the evil doctor Fan Zheng actually used the same evil recipe twice, and once again used the "good service strategy" to directly attack Dali. Crossing Longshou Pass and Longwei Pass, directly crossing Cangshan Mountain to attack Dali City.

Even Zeng Bu was silent. He had previously despised Fan Zheng's rabble and thought that he was the only one who wanted to conquer Dali City. But who would have thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng used a dual strategy and hired a rabble to conquer the city in one fell swoop. Dali City.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty said strangely: "Duan Zhengchun sent a message to Longshou Pass before the Eastern Route Army broke through the imperial city, ordering Longshou Pass to surrender immediately, and asked the Privy Council to go to Dali City immediately. Dali is willing to use Dali City I will donate my wealth to the officials of the Song Dynasty, and I only hope that the privy envoys can protect the people of Dali."

Zeng Bu snorted coldly and said: "When Zeng sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, he not only did not appreciate it, but also wanted to kill the envoy of the Song Dynasty. Things turned around, and Dali actually asked for surrender."

All the Song generals also had strange faces. No one thought that they were still thinking about how to break through Longshou Pass, but Dali City had already been broken into.

"That's according to the Privy Council's wishes!" Zhong Pu asked.

Zeng Bu said proudly: "Generals Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong are responsible for collecting the surrender troops at Longshou Pass. The rest of the army will follow me to Dali City."

"Yes!" Second General Zhong Pu immediately accepted the order.

Immediately they rectified their troops and immediately took over Longshou Pass. The defenders of Longshou Pass were extremely cooperative. Soon, the flag on the city head turned into the flag of the Song Dynasty. Longshou Pass, which had never been breached before, fell into the enemy's territory for the first time. other people's hands.

Seeing that Longshou Pass really fell into the hands of the Song army, Zeng Bu truly believed that Fan Zheng had really conquered Dali City with the evil method of crossing Cangshan Mountain.

Longshou Pass is sixty miles away from the ancient city of Dali. Zeng Bu led the Song Dynasty cavalry, and the journey was smooth and they arrived outside Dali City in an hour.

The North Gate of Dali has long been opened, and there are shouts of killing, fires, and even the faint sound of thunder coming from inside. “Evil recipe!”

Zeng Bu had a bitter look on his face. He had been upright and upright in his military use throughout his life, abiding by the art of war and following the ancestral division of troops strategy of the Song Dynasty. However, he had been repeatedly frustrated. But who would have thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng, a layman, could use evil methods to win the battle and directly conquer the city of Dali.

"Privy Councilor, who should we help?" a Song general looked at each other.

It stands to reason that the Dali defenders are the enemies of the Song army, but now only the imperial city is left to defend the Dali defenders, and the attacking side, although they are the Eastern Route Army, and they all belong to the Song army, they have the most barbarians. Moreover, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, which made them look down upon them.

"Who are you helping? Help no one! Send the order, and the whole army enters the city to stabilize the situation in Dali City." Zeng Bu said angrily.

"Yes!"

General Song immediately accepted the order and led his cavalry into the city.

"drive!"

A large number of Song cavalry entered the city and soldiers crossed the border. Anyone who encountered trouble were suppressed. Even the southwestern ministries that had contributed to the capture of Dali City were suppressed mercilessly.

The tribes of Southwest Yi and the thirty-six tribes of East Yunnan suddenly dared not speak out. They followed the evil doctor Fan Zheng and were robbed by Fan Zheng. Although they were openly following the leadership of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, they were more for the sake of Driven by profit, he did not take the 30,000 elites led by Fan Zheng into his eyes.

But now Zeng Bu's strong suppression has made all the southwestern tribes see the power and cruelty of the Song army.

Soon, Zeng Bu took control of the situation in the ancient city of Dali, and then led his troops to the Dali Palace.

"Young deputy general of the Eastern Route Army, Yang Bangyi, has met the Privy Councilor!" Yang Bangyi had already received the news that Zeng Bu had entered Dali City. When he saw Zeng Bu's arrival, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"A descendant of the Yang family? The handsome army crossed Cangshan Mountain, attacked Dali City, and achieved today's achievements after entering the battlefield for the first time. Finally, he did not lose the reputation of a general of the Yang family!" Zeng Bu nodded.

Yang Bangyi felt ashamed and said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Councilor, has given me too much credit. His humble position is only to obey orders under Fan Taicheng's account. What he carries out is Fan Taicheng's military orders. I dare not take any credit."

Yang Bangyi's words were not modest. He marched all the way to the west and was invincible. However, he clearly understood that all of this was planned by the evil doctor Fan Zheng. He contributed very little but got huge results. of credit.

"Where is Fan Zheng?" Zeng Bu asked.

Yang Bangyi looked to the south and said: "According to Fan Taicheng's military order, our army will immediately attack Dali City after crossing Cangshan Mountain. Fan Taicheng will be responsible for attacking Longweiguan to contain the Dali defenders. If the surprise attack succeeds, he will capture Dali City. If the surprise attack fails, he will immediately attack Dali City." Going south, we should cooperate with the outside to attack Longwei Pass, and now Fan Taicheng should still be attacking Longwei Pass."

Yang Bangyi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The deputy general had already conquered the capital, and the main general was still restraining them outside the pass. This kind of war was probably unheard of.

Zeng Bu waved his hand and said: "Now that I have arrived, you should immediately lead your troops to Longwei Pass for support."

Yang Bangyi's heart sank. You must know that capturing Dali City does not mean conquering a city in the ordinary sense, but represents the end of Dali's war to destroy the country.

While the East Route Army advanced westward and swept across the hinterland of Dali, the North Route Army benefited from the smooth progress of the East Route Army and was able to successfully attack the city of Dali.

The reason why Dali City was able to be conquered was because of Fan Taicheng's evil plan, who crossed Cangshan Mountain and attacked Dali City by surprise. But now Zeng Bu actually wants to drive out the troops who broke Dali City and monopolize the credit for destroying the country.

Seeing Yang Bangyi's hesitation, Zeng Bu's expression changed and he said, "Why, what I said doesn't work anymore."

If it weren't for the current reputation of the Yang family generals, Zeng Bu wouldn't bother to talk nonsense to Yang Bangyi. Even if he directly used military orders to kill him, no one would dare to say anything.

"A humble position..." Yang Bangyi was in a dilemma. He naturally knew Zeng Bu's power. However, this was the deed of destroying the country. It represented not just himself, but the glory of the entire Eastern Route Army. How could he say it lightly? give up.

Suddenly, a familiar voice said: "No need, Fan has broken through Longwei Pass and is already here!"

"Fan Taicheng!"

Yang Bangyi suddenly raised his head and saw Fan Zheng leading the cavalry of the Eastern Route Army on horseback.

Although the Dali royal family intended to ask the privy envoy Zeng Bu to take control of Dali City, and even sent people to meet him in order to protect the people of Dali, after all, Longshou Pass is sixty miles away from Dali City, while Longwei Pass is only thirty miles away from Dali City. Here, the news of the destruction of Dali City spread to Longwei Pass.

Fan Zheng led a group of ragtag troops, faced with the chaotic morale of the defenders, and finally easily broke through Longwei Pass, and finally arrived at Dali City at the critical moment.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

The entire Northern Route Army looked at the young evil doctor Fan Zheng with complicated expressions.

The North Route Army was the main force in the attack, but all the limelight was stolen by a group of rabble led by the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Even the most important feat of destroying the country, such as the victory over Dali City, was taken away by the evil doctor Fan Zheng. go.

"Fan Zheng!"

Zeng Bu's face darkened. He was not a greedy person, but when faced with the task of destroying the country, he couldn't help but be greedy. He didn't expect Fan Zheng to break through Longwei Pass so quickly, causing all his plans to fail.

"Just come. Once the Dali Palace surrenders, your mission and mine will be completed." Zeng Bu immediately turned his attention to the direction of the Dali Palace.

I saw the closed door of the Dali Palace slowly opening, and Dali's civil and military officials slowly walked out under the leadership of Duan Zhengchun, and respectfully presented the jade seal to the Song army.

"The guilty minister Duan Zhengchun apologizes to the officials of the Song Dynasty!" Duan Zhengchun lowered his status and said respectfully.

Zeng Bu looked around at the ministers and couldn't help frowning: "Where are Gao Shengtai and Gao Taiming and their son?"

Those who came to surrender were a group of Dali monarchs and ministers, but the real rulers of Dali, the Gao family and his son, were not discovered. If the father and son were allowed to escape from Dali City, I am afraid that the battle in Dali would be in vain.

Duan Zhengchun lowered his head and said, "I would like to inform you, Lord Privy Councilor, that the traitor Gao Shengtai has been killed, and his son Gao Taiming..."

As Duan Zhengchun said this, he couldn't help but look up in the direction of the imperial city wall.

Everyone looked up and saw Gao Taiming standing high on the imperial city, wearing armor and holding a sharp blade.

"Duan Zhengchun, my Gao family has indeed usurped the throne. I feel sorry for the Duan family, but my Gao family is worthy of Dali. The Gao family is a minister of Dali in life and a ghost of Dali in death. I will not be a minister of Song Dynasty in this life!"

Gao Taiming raised his arms and shouted, swung the sharp knife in his hand, and killed himself. (End of chapter)
