Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 414 The wind blows in Shaanxi (Part )
Jishi Mountain on the border of Gansu and Shaanxi is the mountain that "Guide the River Jishi" recorded in "Yu Gong". It is said that Yu the Great began to control floods in the Yellow River from this mountain. Now, David's powerful army will also attack Shaanxi from this mountain.

The mountain road was rugged, and it was difficult for one's legs to break. Xin Sizhong, the commander-in-chief of Lanzhou, led 3,000 elite troops to march quickly in the mountains.

In Xining City, Emperor Qianyuan, who "did not love beauties but loved country", took pity on his loneliness and ordered Xining Bo Qi Tingjian to marry Qi's Wan'er to him. This made the big thief "Huyan Ban" deeply moved and vowed to marry him. I want to die for His Majesty Qianyuan. Later, the emperor ordered him to capture Lanzhou. He was eager to repay the favor and fell into the Qing army's trick to lure the enemy. He was defeated by Zhang Yong and Chen Wanlue and returned in embarrassment. This time, I vow to take revenge! So he volunteered to serve as a pioneer.

"In the main town, at the foot of the mountain is Jishi Pass. The general sent people to investigate. There are only a few hundred defenders at the pass. It seems that our army has not been found," the subordinate reported.

"Okay, pass on my military order and hide in the forest outside the pass. When the defenders open and close the door, they will seize the door and enter."

"Yes!"

Xin Sizhong's troops were hiding when suddenly another friendly force sneaked in, but it was his brother-in-law, Xining deputy general Qi Xingzhou.

"Brother, why are you here?" Since marrying the beautiful Qi family Wan'er, Xin Sizhong has been obedient to his beloved wife, and he has also been fawning over the people of the old Qi family. Therefore, although he is more than ten years older than Qi Xingzhou Years old, but Wan'er shyly called Qi Xingzhou "brother".

"Huh, I'm afraid that you don't have enough troops, so I specifically asked the Fuyuan to help you out," Qi Xingzhou explained angrily. At that time, he and his father made a plan to send his sister Wan'er to Emperor Qianyuan's harem as a concubine. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not love beauties and the country, so he promised his sister to the rebel "Tiger Flame Ban". There is really a kind of good cabbage. He felt like a pig, and he had no regard for his brother-in-law, and he rarely looked down upon him.

Why are you afraid that I don't have enough troops? I clearly want to steal the credit! Xin Sizhong felt like a mirror in his heart, but he said with a flattering smile: "I have sent people to find out. There are only a few hundred defenders who have been locked up, but they have not discovered the whereabouts of our troops. My brother can lurk in the forest and wait for the defenders to open and close the door. Break in through the door."

"Yes", Qi Xingzhou responded with satisfaction from his nostrils. This time he brought 1,500 elite Qi soldiers. He believed that attacking the pass would not be difficult.

"Oh~oh~oh~"

When the rooster sang and the sky was white, a few listless pawns opened the city gate. At this time, the Qing Dynasty and Wei Dynasty were not yet at war, and many merchants were eager to leave the country for trade.

The opportunity comes!

Qi Xingzhou drew his sword and galloped out of the forest like a tiger descending from the mountain. He knocked down a defender with one sword strike. Qi's native soldiers followed closely, shouting to kill, and Xin Sizhong also followed with his army. Caught off guard, Guancheng was quickly captured.

Xin Sizhong and Qi Xing will be eager to make contributions on Tuesday. After a short rest, they will capture Lianhua Village and continue to kill in Hezhou.

Tong Tou, the deputy general of Lintao, was a confidant of Shaanxi Governor Meng Qiaofang. He was very senior in the Hexi army and had rich combat experience. He was ordered to lead 4,000 troops to guard Hezhou, so he defended the city of Hezhou like an iron barrel.

Hezhou got its name because it relied on the Li River (Daxia River). It was protected by the river and was extremely difficult to fight. Generals Xin and Qi fought hard for several days but failed to capture the city.

The emperor's confidant Alatancang, the governor of Gansu, led the troops with the deputy admiral and commander-in-chief of Gansu Sabir, the commander-in-chief of Xi'an Qi Zhizhen, the commander-in-chief of Yan'an Fan Dingge, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Ma Anbang, the deputy general of Lanzhou Ding Guodong, the deputy general of Ningxia Milayin, etc. He rode twenty-five thousand and arrived.

Today's Oirat is in a period of succession between young and old. The older generation of generals are gradually withering away, and the younger generation of generals are growing up. As the emperor's childhood playmate, Alatancang, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, belonged to the younger generation of generals, and he competed with Xi Rimo, the veteran commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, for the limelight.

We have not been able to attack for several days. If the Eastern Route Army decides to fight first, Your Majesty will definitely think that I am not as good as that old man! Alatan was in a panic.

Seeing him like this, Sabir, the deputy admiral and commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, laughed and said, "Don't be in a hurry to help the hospital. If you want to break through Hezhou City, you only need to send thousands of households to the capital."

"Oh, why can you just send him there?" Alatancang asked curiously. "Hezhou has had a tea and horse company since the seventh year of Hongwu. Because tea was exchanged for horses from Gannan Tibetans, there was a 'Fanchang (equivalent to a hotel)' dedicated to the residence of Tibetan businessmen four hundred steps south of the city. There are more than 120 houses, divided into front and back courtyards, and there are about thousands of Gannan Tibetans living in the city. The thousand households in Wanjingdu are one of the chieftains of Gannan Tibetans."

"You mean to let Wan Jin incite an uprising against the Tibetan people in the city? It's a good plan, but the city gate is closed. How can we get in touch with the city?"

"People who have been doing business for many years must have a way to contact them. You can just find businessmen outside the city."

Alatancang thought it was feasible and followed the plan to find the Gannan Tibetans outside the city. On the same day, several "flying slaves" (carrier pigeons) flew into the city.

It was late at night, and the lanterns hanging on the south wall reflected the plaque with the four words "Hehuangxiong Town" in red.

Inside the city gate, several veterans guarding the gate were yawning when they suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.

"Who is it?" the leader asked the boss.

"It's me," followed a rough reply, and a thick figure came into his eyes. But it was He Xiong, the commander of the Hezhou Guard. In the third year of Hongwu, Ji Suonanpu, the Tubo Xuanwei envoy from Shaanxi province in the Yuan Dynasty, came to the Ming Dynasty. Taizu gave Ji Suonanpu He's surname and established him as the Hezhou Guard. He was subordinate to the Shaanxi Dusi Xi'an Xingdu Guard. The He family inherited the command of the Hezhou Guard. However, after the Qing army occupied Hezhou, He lost his native official position conferred by the Ming Dynasty, and He Xiong became a pure businessman.

"It's you, why are you still not resting at this late hour? Why are you here?" The boss did not relax his vigilance and continued to interrogate.

"Come and take your life!"

After saying that, He Xiong took out the sword hidden in his pocket and stabbed the general with one sword. The men behind him also took out their swords to kill the scattered defenders, and captured and opened the south city gate.

"嗻～嗻～嗻～"

Wanjin, who had been waiting for a long time, led two thousand Gannan Tibetan troops into the city, followed by Alatancang's army.

Poor Tong Tou, after a busy day, he was just about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard loud shouts of killing in the city.

"What's going on?" he asked his guard in surprise.

"There were Tibetan merchants from Gannan who were causing trouble in the city. They opened the south gate and the guards had entered the city."

"What!" Upon hearing this, Tong Tuo was heartbroken and did not dare to fight. He ordered his subordinates to open the east city gate and flee.

Now that Hezhou has arrived, Didao is a smooth road. Alatancang was about to continue to the east to capture Didao, but suddenly it was reported that local bandits Ding Jiasheng, Zhe Ziming, and Gao Yixiang were coming to surrender. These three people fled here after being defeated by Zhang Yong. There were only 1,500 or 600 soldiers and horses left. They heard that the guards were attacking Hezhou and hurriedly came to defect.

In order to sell the horse bones for a thousand gold, Alatancang immediately went to the imperial court to promote Ding Jia to deputy general, Zhe Ziming and Gao Yixiang to deputy generals.
