At that time, although the gold thief had been peaceful for a few years, later, because Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang started to rebel for their own ambitions.
This generation of Liao kings had just taken over the title, but they immediately led their troops to resist the gold thieves at Datong Pass. After a bloody battle for more than a month, the court's support arrived, and then together they stopped the gold thieves' cavalry.
However, from then on, the golden thief would send troops to block the pass from time to time.
The Datongguan area, and after that, there was no peace.
Fortunately, Datong Pass was guarded by the King of Liao, who never gave up resistance, preventing the gold thieves from entering the pass and plundering.
On the other hand, Meng Yuan and Bei Yan were often provoked by gold thieves, who bypassed some important passes and entered the pass to burn, kill and loot.
The golden thief actually had no choice but to do so.
The founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Agu, was beaten to death too early, so that after his brother Wanyanwu begged to ascend the throne, he went south with Meng Yuan, but was beaten to death by Xiao Di and Yue Shan.
After losing half of its territory, the distance from Datong Pass to Ulancha, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, was only a few hundred miles. It can be said that the Jin Kingdom lost its southern gate from then on.
Going south was desperately blocked by the King of Liao, so they could only grab supplies from the Meng Yuan and Bei Yan sides. Otherwise, with the limited territory of the Jin Kingdom, it would be difficult to feed their cavalry army.
"Get ready to evacuate south of the city."
In the government hall of the Anbei Protectorate, Di Qing looked at the map and the information in his hand and issued an order.
Because most of the people in the Anxi Protectorate have completed their southward migration and arrived within Datong Pass.
In the Anbei Protectorate, there are only tens of thousands of Jin people who do not want to retreat or who are unable to retreat.
Di Qing's small force cannot stop the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry who are continuously coming to support here.
So the best thing to do is to retreat.
Making the most noise to retreat, Meng Yuan began to pursue and began to cut off their retreat.
The lieutenants nodded. They had actually wanted to retreat a long time ago.
Hearing that Di Qing finally issued this order, he was relieved.
They knew this strength very well. Once the Meng Yuan cavalry successfully surrounded the Anbei Protectorate, it would be difficult for them to withdraw.
If Meng Yuan comes to an encirclement point for reinforcements, they will become the target of public criticism.
"Remember, to make the biggest noise, the soldiers must also behave in a panic, hurry, and confusion."
The retreat scene must be played well before Meng Yuan will be fooled.
Di Qing mainly wanted to eat the Meng Yuan cavalry that cut off their retreat, that is, the enemy troops coming from Shuozhou.
Of course, if not, then he would find a place to ambush the pursuers.
…
A few miles west of the Anbei Protectorate.
Meng Yuan camp.
Tens of thousands of people under Meng Ge's command were sleeping soundly.
"Report, call Wanhu, there is movement in Ulancha City, the enemy seems to be retreating in a hurry!"
"Report, call Wanhu, there is movement in Ulancha City, the enemy seems to be retreating in a hurry!"
"Report, call Wanhu, there is movement in Ulancha City, the enemy seems to be retreating in a hurry!"
After reporting three times in a row, Huge Rimai was woken up.
He sat there for a while, then woke up and immediately called the deputy general in loudly.
Hearing the movement of the imperial guards in Ulancha City, who were retreating out of the city, he trembled for a moment before he finally came to his senses.
"Come on, hurry up, inform Tengeda Wanhu, and ask him to send troops to intercept immediately. You have to be quick, you must be quick!"
Those who followed immediately asked someone to deliver the message.
Hugrimai said urgently: "Immediately order the entire army to hunt down the imperial guards!"
A deputy general immediately went out to deliver the order.
The remaining few people were standing there.
The firelight in the tent flickered, and Huge Rimai's expression was also dark and uncertain. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Don't chase them too closely, lest they escape faster, just chase them slowly from behind."
"When it's almost the same, chase them tighter so that they don't have time to react and go straight into the ambush of Tengeda Wanhu."
The lieutenants also understood. They put their hands on their chests and bowed: "As ordered."
…
The long spear in Han Shizhong's hand pierced the chest of another enemy general.
The stick was covered in blood and was not slippery, but rather sticky.
He is leading more than 10,000 people to defend the Anxi Protectorate.
Kublai Khan personally led his troops to attack the Anxi Protectorate. The troops were divided into two groups, passing through the Hengduan Mountains and entering the Anxi Protectorate, and then heading south to Yanzhou.
To be honest, at first, the Anxi Protectorate did not notice the movements of the Meng Yuan cavalry.
Han Shizhong had made a guess and expected that if Meng Yuan wanted to go south, he would definitely capture the Anxi Protectorate first.
First of all, this place already belongs to the territory of Daqian and is heavily guarded. This is the first pass on the way south to Daqian.
The second reason is that there is a large pasture here, and the Mongolian and Yuan armies are mainly cavalry, so they need a lot of horse grass to feed the horses. Without the horses, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry will be reduced by half.
It was impossible for Meng Yuan not to occupy the large horse farm of Anxi Protectorate, but to drive straight in and only attack Jinyang.
Therefore, he also dispatched many scouts to keep an eye on Meng Yuan's movements.
However, the opponent's cavalry was very fast and arrived just a short time after the scouts.
"Hold on!"
"In less than half an hour, the enemy troops will definitely withdraw!"
Han Shizhong shouted loudly, and at the same time someone would convey his words so that the guards on the entire city wall could hear them.
"puff."
After Han Shizhong finished speaking, he waved his horse spear again and stabbed a Mongolian rebel soldier to death. The enemy fell directly into the city.
He has been waiting and watching the situation. Today is the sixth time that Meng Yuan has launched an siege.
Today's battle has lasted for more than four hours.
The city walls have been dyed red.
Under the city wall, the corpses of soldiers piled up like mountains.
Among them are not only the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, but also Dagan people, Dangxiang people, Uighurs, Jin people, Beiyan people, etc.
Yes, Kublai Khan can definitely be called a hero, and he can also be regarded as a man who has the world at heart.
I know that if I want to invade the Central Plains, if I want to be like Daqian, I will become a great kingdom in the sky.
We cannot rely on the sharpness of the Mongolian and Yuan iron cavalry and conquer every place purely by force.
That won't work.
Because after capturing Dagan, we still need to govern and rule.
Otherwise, what is the use of conquering such a large territory?
In a few years, they will fight back.
If you want to govern these places, you must first win over people's hearts, whether they are Dagan people or Jin people.
Kublai Khan treated them with courtesy and influenced them, letting them know that Meng Yuan was not a robber.
This idea is actually the same as Xiao Yi's.
Therefore, Kublai Khan can also be regarded as a hero.
"The enemy is about to retreat!"
Han Shizhong looked at the field outside the city in the direction of the Meng Yuan Camp and said calmly.
…
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The voices of the guards rang out from the Meng Yuan camp.
"Withdraw. It seems that we are going to bypass the Anxi Protectorate!" Kublai Khan said in a deep voice with his hands crossed in front of him, looking at the map.
Wanhu Hulegen couldn't help but ask: "How can I explain to the Great Khan after bypassing the Anxi Protectorate?"
Kublai Khan said directly: "The Anxi Protectorate is just a capital of Daqian. Is this the capital we want?"
Hu Legen shook his head quickly.
Kublai Khan continued: "Bypassing the capital city of Anxi Protectorate, go directly south and force them to leave the city to fight."
"Do they dare to defend the capital like this and watch us plunder everywhere in the Xixia land and watch us enter the Daqian Longyou Road?"
"Whether they leave the city or not, if our troops leave Longyou Road, Prince Daqian will definitely send troops to support us."
"We can directly set up a few ambushes to lure these Daqian reinforcements into the trap, and then kill them directly."
"Kill as many as you come."
"I want to see if Prince Daqian will personally go on an expedition!"
…
at the same time.
The eight artillery pieces escorted by Yue Hongling were finally transported to Chungju with their barrels, mounts, and shells separated.
It's not far from Anxi Protector's Mansion.
