Martial arts start from Lu Ding Ji

After lunch, the army set off!

The soldiers were full of energy, and they walked much more vigorously than usual.

"General, although Dali is a small country, there are hundreds of cities.

With our 5000 people, even if we can attack them all, we won't be able to hold them. "

On the road, the deputy general rode beside Qin Fan and said.

"Who said we're all down?

Our way to Dali passes through two prefectures and two counties.

We only captured the capitals of the prefectures and counties,

Once the news of the destruction of the [-] troops spreads, who will dare to stop us.

I'm afraid that the emperor of Dali will gather most of his soldiers in Dali City,

At that time, we will have done our best.

If their main force is wiped out, Dali will be over.

When the time comes, our Great Song Army will occupy every city,

Let my father-in-law worry about these things.

Let's take down the city and talk about it. "

Qin Fan didn't think about fighting every city along the way,

In his opinion, laying down a few important cities is enough.

According to Qin Fan's plan, their first stop is Shicheng County!

On this road,

The fact that the lieutenant was worried that the enemy might be harassed by a small group did not happen at all.

The guards of Shicheng County woke up early in the morning,

The soldiers guarding the city found the Song soldiers standing neatly outside the city.

There are only more than 2000 defenders in Shicheng County.

They thought it was impossible for Song's army to reach here with an army of [-].

But now Song Jun appeared here,

Could it be that 10 people suffered an accident?

The city guard was a little puzzled, and then he heard someone shouting from below.

"Listen, garrison above,

The [-] troops led by your Marshal Gao Taixiang have all been annihilated by our army,

Give you half an hour to surrender immediately,

Otherwise, our army will break through the city and leave no one behind! "

The lieutenant general found a few soldiers with loud voices and shouted below.

When the defenders of Shicheng County heard this, they were frightened.

The 5000 army is no match for these 2000 people, how can I defeat them with my [-] people.

The city guard immediately ran to the county guard's mansion to report the letter.

"What! There is no one left in the [-] army, and all of them have been wiped out?"

The Sheriff of Shicheng had an unbelievable expression on his face:

"How is this possible? That's an army of [-]. Even if [-] pigs are caught by [-] Song soldiers, they won't be able to catch them all in three days!"

"But Lord Sheriff, the enemy is just outside the city,

The general took a look, they were neatly arranged,

It was estimated that there were thousands of people, so they gave them half an hour,

If we don't surrender, they say that if we break through a city, no dogs will be left behind.

Also please make an early decision, Mr. Arms Sales! "

The city guard said anxiously.

"Then what are you waiting for, notify the garrison immediately, take your family members and run away.

Gao Taixiang's [-] troops could not beat Song's [-] soldiers.

We only have so few people, how to fight? "

The sheriff panicked after hearing what he said. He didn't have the slightest intention of defending the city, so he turned and went to the inner courtyard.

In an instant, the Sheriff's Mansion became busy.

The servants picked up the valuables and packed them up, then ran away.

This sheriff still has some conscience,

Don't forget to let people inform all officials, wealthy businessmen in the city,

After half an hour,

The city gate of Shicheng County slowly opened from the inside,

An unlucky guy who was left behind came to Qin Fan's formation with a white flag.

"Feng Dahai, the head of the Marble City County, kowtowed to the general of Shangguo,

All the officials and defenders of our Shicheng County have run away,

I was ordered to surrender again to the general. "

The principal was also quite frightened, and said tremblingly.

"Order the army to enter the city!"

Qin Fan nodded, and then gave instructions to the lieutenant general.

"General, be careful of fraud." The lieutenant quickly whispered.

"Don't worry, there will be no fraud, go to the city!"

Of course Qin Fan knew about the escape of Shicheng County officials,

He didn't care either, if it wasn't for these soldiers to be repaired,

He was ready to attack Dali directly, so why bother to occupy these cities.

Seeing Qin Fan's categorical words, the deputy general stopped persuading him, and immediately ordered the army to enter the city.

That Feng Dahai brought Qin Fan to the sheriff's office,

Looking at the messy sheriff's mansion, the deputy general believed that the sheriff had really run away, and he was relieved.

Dali has been in peace for a long time,

At the beginning, many people were afraid that the Song army would burn, kill and loot.

But I found that the soldiers were very well-behaved, and gradually returned to normal.

For them, whoever becomes the emperor pays taxes to whom, it makes no difference.

Whether the emperor's surname is Duan or Zhao, isn't it all the same?

In this way, the army occupied the first city without any effort,

Then the army marched again to Huize City, Dongchuan County.

The process is almost the same as in Shicheng County,

Huize City has no intention of resisting at all.

The officials ran away, and the soldiers who were willing to run away ran away.

Those who didn't want to run away took off their military uniforms and became ordinary people.

Followed by Huichuan Mansion and ** Mansion, these two mansions were even worse, the officials had already fled when they came.

Some gentry heard that Song Junqiu had committed no crime, so they all stood outside to welcome the army.

Qin Fan and the others spent almost all their time on the road,

Finally this day,

Five thousand troops are only twenty miles away from Dali City,

The army camped,

Waiting to capture Dali City the next day.

-------------------------------------

"The ministers were summoned today to discuss the matter of starting a war with Song Dynasty."

Duan Zhixiang sat on the dragon chair and looked at the officials below, and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, it's just five thousand soldiers,

With Marshal Gao Taixiang going out in person, he must be able to catch it with his hands, and the flag is set to win! "

A minister stepped forward quickly, seeming to widen Duan Zhixiang's heart,

But in fact, he was flattering Gao Ayu.

Gao Taixiang is the son of Gao Ayu, the future prime minister,

In his view, the emperor is a puppet, and the prime minister is the actual master of Dali.

Flattering the prime minister is a perfectly normal thing,

As for the emperor, it is better to study Buddhist scriptures.

"Of course I don't care about the five thousand troops,

What I think is that in the future, although Song State is weakened, it still has hundreds of thousands of troops.

We in Dali say that there is an army of 50, but it is only 30 at full strength.

There were 30 Song Guoguang Forbidden Army, not counting the local army.

Should we accept it as soon as it is good, or take the opportunity to occupy part of the Song Dynasty. "

Duan Zhixiang looked at the minister, without the slightest displeasure on his face, and said lightly.

"Song State bullied me Dali, we must not let it go,

At least to capture the land of several of their states. "The minister said hastily.

"That is to say, it's just that Song and Mongolia are brothers and allies.

I am afraid that Mongolia will take the opportunity to go south.

Even if Mongolia does not help each other, if Song State fights with all its strength,

My Dali may not be able to take advantage of it. "

Although Duan Zhixiang doesn't care about political affairs, he is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, and he must not be arrogant in military affairs.

"The emperors of the Song Dynasty are all weak and incompetent people, and they will never dare to fight with my Dali."

The minister said solemnly.

"Absurd, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty is only a six-year-old child.

It is the Prime Minister Huang Yaoshi who holds the power,

Huang Yaoshi is a man with high martial arts skills, he is arrogant, and he is extremely protective of his weaknesses.

He has never been a prime minister before, and he will not consider many political influences.

People in the Jianghu like to act emotionally, once he thinks his face is damaged,

Maybe it will really go all out. "

Gao Ayu saw that the minister's words were outrageous, so he stood up and said.

When the minister saw that the prime minister had said so, he said no more.

"I thought we could unite with the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song have always had enmity.

We can unite with the Kingdom of Jin to attack the Song Dynasty and agree to share the territory of the Kingdom of Song with them.

Song Guo was attacked by the enemy, so he was naturally not an opponent. "

A minister stood up and said.

Duan Zhixiang nodded after hearing this, this is the words of seeking the country!
