Chapter 820 Hitting a Snake for Seven Inches, Breaking Its Food Path!
On June 23, the indictment order sent from the Chuwei Mansion was sent to the capital of Dali, causing an uproar in the Dali court.
Wensong, the Minister of Household Affairs, cursed: "Yang Zhixing dares to overstep his bounds and offend the Prime Minister. He should be immediately recruited to the capital and convicted!"
The other ministers were also filled with indignation and rebuked Yang Zhixing one after another.
It was not until June 24th that another news reached the royal capital: the Song army captured Weichu Mansion.
After learning the news, the ministers headed by Wensong were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
The king of Dali immediately rolled up a huge wave.
For a while, there was endless debate in the court.
Some people say that Xiangguo Gao Liangcheng was actually defeated more than a month ago, but he kept concealing it and failed to report it, which led to the Song army going deep into Weichu Mansion.
The current plan is to immediately organize a group of elite troops in the royal capital to resist the Song army's attack first, and then send people to the Song camp to negotiate.
Some people say that the Song army's capture of Weichu Mansion is a complete misinformation and a rumor!
Of course, there are also some people who have profound interpretations of the Weichu Mansion's interrogation order.
They said that the Song army did not invade at all, and that all this was arranged by Yang Zhixing.
Yang Zhixing actually thought that the Song army's invasion of Dali might bring disaster to Dali, so he took this opportunity to put pressure on the Gao family.
It is self-evident as to who is supporting Yang Zhixing in doing this.
Whenever the situation is turbulent, the group will only do one thing: make the situation more turbulent.
Whether in the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, Jiaozhi, or Dali.
Under such turmoil, the situation is changing rapidly.
On June 25, Wu Lin's army had advanced into Nongdong Mansion without anyone noticing.
At this time, all the counties in the rear of Dali Kingdom were actually in a normal state.
What is the normal state?
That is, most of the troops were not mobilized. People hunted, planted tea, and farmed.
At this time, the main forces of the Dali Kingdom were either located in Dongchuan, Jianchang and Shitou counties, as well as in the royal capital.
A place like Nongdong Mansion, located between the royal capital and the front line, is an empty area.
Even the royal capital's military strength is actually low.
There is no need to say more about the consequences of Wu Lin's sudden appearance in this place.
On June 25th, the main city of Nongdongfu was captured by Wu Lin.
Wu Lin ordered to cut off the food road from the royal capital through Nongdongfu to the front line.
Afterwards, he sent people to the capital of Dali, while he himself was stationed in Nongdong Mansion.
On June 27, Gao Liangcheng, who had just gone to the front line of Dongchuan County, suddenly received news from the rear: Yang Zhixing of Weichu Mansion had issued an interrogation order to the royal capital!
The person being questioned turned out to be him, the prime minister.
Gao Liangcheng is still very clear about Yang Zhixing's character. Yang Zhixing is the prefect of Chu Prefecture. He has made outstanding achievements in local affairs. He respects his superiors and loves his people like a son.
How could he issue such an interrogation order?
Gao Liangcheng was a little confused.
He Shitang said: "Prime Minister, Yang Zhixing is afraid that he has been bribed by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"You mean, His Highness the Crown Prince is going to attack us at this time?"
"The whole thing was started by His Highness the Crown Prince and the people of Song Dynasty." He Shitang said, "How can Yang Zhixing still threaten the Prime Minister? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, instigating civil strife at such a critical moment may plunge our country of Dali into eternal disaster.
He no longer has any worries about the land, and the Prime Minister can no longer be soft on him."
"you mean?"
"When you defeat the Song army and return to the royal capital, let your Majesty depose the crown prince!" He Shitang's face was sinister and his eyes were fierce. "From now on, the Prime Minister must have the final say in the court!"
"The Song Army is also a big trouble now!" Gao Liangcheng sighed.
"The Song Army can't succeed!" He Shitang was quite confident, "They can't even cross Wumeng Mountain, let alone the huge rivers in our country of Dali. If the Song Army raises troops, they are doomed to fail!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "Report! Urgent report!"
"Come in!"
Gao Liangcheng took the urgent report from the scout's hand.
He Shitang asked: "Is the Song army on the front line going to attack?"
However, Gao Liangcheng's face became uglier the more he looked at it. He said sullenly: "A Song army suddenly appeared in Weichu Mansion and captured Weichu!"
"What!" He Shitang, who was full of confidence just now, jumped up after hearing the news, "This is impossible! Isn't the Song Army still on the other side of the Niulan River? Is there a mistake?"
Gao Liangcheng's mind raced rapidly: "Yang Zhixing's interrogation order is abnormal, and now there are rumors that the Song Army has arrived in Weichu. It seems that Yang Zhixing's interrogation order was not issued by His Highness the Crown Prince, but by the Song Army!"
"Are you saying that the Song army has really reached Weichu?"
“I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn’t exist!”
"Can the Song Army fly?" He Shitang still didn't come to his senses for a while. This was really beyond his expectation.
Gao Liangcheng's expression was extremely ugly, and he said, "It's Jiaozhi, he came from Jiaozhi!"
"Jiaozhi?" He Shitang was stunned for a moment and then said, "That's even more impossible. From Jiaozhi to Weichu, there are thousands of miles of mountains blocking it, making the march extremely difficult. They..."
"You stay on the front line here, I want to go back to the capital!" Gao Liangcheng no longer hesitated.
"I'm afraid..."
"We have enough troops. You must not act rashly. Just hold on to the main road. The Song army cannot get through. If they take the eastern front, it will be difficult for them to defeat Luo Dianguo." Gao Liangcheng calmed down and said, "The Song army came over the mountains from Jiaozhi.
, the troops must be limited, and once I deal with the rear, everything will be under control!"
"yes!"
Gao Liangcheng immediately raised 50,000 troops and hurriedly withdrew from the front line.
On June 28, the scouts sent news.
Wu Lin further confirmed the current situation in Dali.
As Yang Zhixing said, Prime Minister Gao Liangcheng assembled the main force at the border to confront the Song army across the river.
On June 23, Gao Liangcheng, who returned to Huichuan Prefecture, learned from his scouts that Nongdong Prefecture had been captured by the Song Army and that the frontline food road had been cut off by the Song Army.
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Dali army on the front line. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, the Dali army on the front line will collapse before the Song army comes over.
You know, Gao Liangcheng has gathered young men from various places, and some of them are still coming over one after another.
As the number of people increases, the demand for food will naturally increase.
Even if these young men bring their own food, the quantity is limited.
This must require Dali's logistics to continuously supply food from the royal capital to the front line.
Since the territory of Dali Kingdom itself is not that big, especially the distance from the royal capital to Huichuan Prefecture is only a few hundred miles.
The people of Dali are also familiar with every mountain road, so it is not difficult to assemble food.
But now it was cut off in the middle by the Song Army.
