Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 638: Conquering Two More Prefectures in Sichuan (Part )
"Brother Gao and Brother Yang please help me regain Lizhou and Yazhou." In the living room of the Tianquan Sixth Division's envoy's office, Kangrong's commander-in-chief Lalm was sitting in the main seat and said with a smile to the Tianquan Sixth Division. The envoy Gao Jitai and the deputy envoy Yang Xianzhu were recruited.

"Commander, I made a promise when I surrendered to David. After the surrender, David was not allowed to mobilize all the troops to attack Lizhou and Yazhou. How can you break your promise?" Gao Jitai said angrily.

"Oh, Brother Gao misunderstood. I want to ask Brother Gao for advice. Is there any way to regain Lizhou and Yazhou as soon as possible, but I have no intention of dispatching Tianquan's soldiers to attack Lizhou and Yazhou." Larm accompanied smiled. He knew that Gao Jitaide was highly respected and wanted to ask him for advice.

"Alas! To be honest with you, Commander-in-Chief, before I surrendered to David, I wrote to the brothers in Lizhou and Yazhou to persuade them to surrender. Currently, only Anmeng, the pacifying envoy of Lizhou, is willing to surrender. The others would rather be broken than destroyed. You It is better to take Lizhou first. An Meng is the pacifier of Lizhou. Once he surrenders, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Lizhou will be turbulent. It is not difficult to take it. After winning Lizhou, go north to take Yazhou. General Xu Hanqing is assisting in the defense of Yazhou and has written a letter ordering him to return. This is the best I can do!"

"Oh, Brother Gao, you have helped me a lot. I will definitely go to the Shu court to ask for your credit." Lalm was overjoyed.

"Commander, you are very polite. Gao does not ask for credit. He only hopes that the court can treat the people of Lizhou and Yazhou well. That is enough!" Gao Jitai sighed deeply, feeling both guilt for his friends and relief for the people. .

Lalm couldn't understand his complicated mood, nor did he want to understand it. He just wanted to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor as soon as possible and achieve meritorious service and be promoted. It may seem easy to lead an army, but you have to take into account all aspects of the relationship. Within the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Batu Mengke, the commander-in-chief of Uzbekistan, and Salaletu, who joined the army, were quarreling endlessly because they did not get any major military honors; Mr. Pala Gesangdiba from Gyantse was also the most important person in the emperor's heart. These must be taken into consideration, so he ordered Batu Mengke, the commander-in-chief of Uzbekistan, to be the vanguard and lead 6,000 soldiers and horses from Salaltu, Pala Gesang, Danbadarijie and other troops to gallop into Lebanon. Prefecture, led more than 10,000 soldiers to the rear. In order to prevent the Tianquan Sixth Division from changing, he also left two thousand horses to monitor the Tianquan soldiers.

"Pioneer, ahead is Feiyue Mountain. After passing this mountain and going around to the north bank of the Han River, you will find the Dadu River where the Lizhou Appeasement Division is located. This area is Anmeng's territory. I have contacted Anmeng and he has expressed his willingness to lead the army. Submit to David," Yang Xianzhu said respectfully to Batu Mengke. On Gao Jitai's order, he contacted Anmeng and acted as a guide for the guards. Because he knew that Batu Mengke was the son of Erke, the Duke of Lu State, a David senator, he was cautious and did not dare to neglect, and was very polite.

As a son of a great Mongolian noble, Batu Mengk had a sense of arrogance. However, because David had just founded the country, these noble children had all experienced wars, so they had extremely rich battlefield experience and excellent abilities in all aspects. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "Deputy Envoy Yang must not be careless. We must guard against Anmeng's false surrender. When people come, they form a fighting formation. One thousand-man team follows one thousand-man team on the mountain. Each team is separated by a hundred steps."

After a military order, six thousand Mongolian troops lined up in columns and began to climb the mountain in an orderly manner. The air was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Yang Xianzhu couldn't help but admire him after reading it. The Wei army was really a tiger and wolf army. No wonder they took Zishi Pass in just four days. This is just the local garrison of Kangrong and Uztang provinces. If it were the imperial army of David's court, I don't know how powerful it would be. In fact, he didn't know that the troops coming this time were not all local defenders, but also soldiers from David's court, that is, the Forbidden Army. The two thousand men directly under the command of Batu Mengke, the commander-in-chief of Uzbekistan, were David's Forbidden Army stationed in Shigatse. They were naturally more elite than the other guards.

"Report! Kelsangdiba has climbed over Feiyue Mountain and has not found the Lizhou defenders." News came from the front.

"Pioneer, this must be Chieftain Anmeng showing his goodwill to you and not sending anyone to defend this mountain," Yang Xianzhu said with a smile.

"Well, it seems that Anmen is sincere in surrendering David to me." Batu Mengke nodded with satisfaction, "Instruct all the troops to speed up the mountain climbing and get out of Feiyue Mountain before dark."

No matter how high you fly over the mountains, you can't stop the military orders as high as the mountains. Soon, the guards walked out of the mountainous area and came to the north bank of the long Han River. They walked along the Han River for a day and marched to the Dadu River where the Lizhou Appeasement Department was located. Lizhou's pacifying envoy Anmeng led four thousand troops into a neat queue to greet the army respectfully.

"The last general, An Meng, has seen the main town." An Meng saluted respectfully.

"Comfort envoy, please get up quickly." Batu Mengke helped him up affectionately, but looked around with his eyes. When he saw that he and his subordinates were not carrying heavy weapons, and were only wearing Jiarong clothes, without even armor, he immediately put them down. In my heart, I believed it was true, and on the surface, I became more and more friendly and friendly. I heard that Lizhou's pacification envoy surrendered the guards, and all the chieftains in Lizhou surrendered, but two of them refused to surrender. One is Ma Ting, a Hui Tuqianhu, and the other is Wenyinyuan, a Tibetan Tuqianhu. Both of them are big chieftains in Lizhou. They are quite powerful. They also have good relations with Zhang Shiwei, the magistrate of Yazhou, and form an alliance.

It is a fine tradition of the Kingdom of David to make good use of surrendered generals. Batu Mengke immediately ordered Anmeng to be the vanguard to attack Hanyuan, the territory of Ma Ting. Anmeng did not dare to impose conditions on the Kingdom of Wei like Gao Jitai, so he obeyed his orders and led four thousand native soldiers to advance. Unexpectedly, when they marched to Hanyuan, they found that it was deserted. It turned out that Ma Ting and his troops had withdrawn to Songping, Wen Yinyuan's territory.

Hanyuan and Songping are both located on the north bank of the Dadu River, with excellent scenery, especially Songping, which is picturesque. Batu Mengke, who had seen large-scale battles, thought that this march was just an outing. He slowly rode his horse while enjoying the scenery.

An Meng, who was walking at the front, was not in such a good mood as him. The newly surrendered man was eager to make meritorious service in front of his master, and urged his subordinates to walk fast along the way.

"Sir, we are all a little tired, would you like to take a rest?" Chang'an, a confidant from hundreds of households, asked for instructions.

"No, if Ma Ting and Wen Yinyuan are allowed to lead their troops to escape to Yazhou, we will not be able to achieve success. Tell your sons, hold on for a while, and after this battle, I will throw a banquet with good wine and meat. Everyone has enough to eat," Anmen roared.

Under his urging, the troops advanced faster, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at Wen Yinyuan's official village in Songping.

"Kill me." An Meng regained his energy, drew his Tibetan knife, and led the way towards the official village.

"Kill~kill~kill~" would be the courage of the soldiers. The native soldiers all rushed into the village like wolves and tigers.

But it was an empty village, empty and not a single person could be found.

"Doubtful? Could it be that Ma Ting and Wen Yinyuan really led their troops to flee to Yazhou?" An Meng was feeling annoyed when he suddenly smelled the strong smell of sulfur and grease. "Boom~boom~boom~", there were fierce explosions from all directions, the fire in the official stronghold shot into the sky, and the ambush troops came out.

"No, I fell into a trap!" An Meng was shocked.
