Chapter 113 The Last Battle

On this day, Di Qing was chatting with Liu Chang in the official hall. A personal soldier rushed in and said with his hands crossed his hands: "Taiwei, the general of Yinzhou abandoned the city and fled!"

Di Qing suddenly stood up and whispered: "Where to escape?"

The personal soldiers said, "Escape to Amitabha Cave and sneaked into my army to attack Amitabha Cave. The two armies joined together and headed towards Anqingze and Huang Yangping."

When Di Qing heard this, he couldn't help but frown. An Qingze and Huang Yangping were in the depths of the desert, just like Dijinze, where Dangxiang's nomadic tribe lived. Because in the depths of the desert, the nomadic tribes were unstable and difficult to attack.

After walking back and forth in the official hall for a few steps, Di Qing said: "Amitabha Cave and Yinzhou will be destroyed. However, the troops left behind must be pursued and suppressed to prevent them from making a comeback. Okay, you go down first, and I will deal with this matter."

After returning to the case, Di Qing sat down and said to Liu Chang: "I think the Dangxiang people saw that the situation was hopeless, but they didn't want to surrender, so they took people to the desert. There were about 20,000 Dangxiang soldiers in Yinzhou and Mida Cave. If they indulge for a while, they will inevitably cause great harm in the future. It is early February, spring is in full bloom and the busiest time for herdsmen. It is better to send a large army to wipe them out, which is a conclusion."

Liu Chang said: "Although I don't know about military affairs, the Xingling in the west has already fallen, and now Hengshan is also in the hands of the imperial court. What's the way out for the Dangxiang people to run to the desert? According to conventional rules, they should have surrendered."

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "No matter how many, I will send a large army to wipe out them. Then the army gathers together and waits for the imperial court to send."

Why did he refuse to surrender? Di Qing probably knew it in his heart. After passing Yuzhou, the army divided the troops, and Di Qing couldn't control his subordinates. He repeatedly had excuses of surrendering troops and rebelling and plundering the city. When the Dangxiang people saw him, they were still willing to surrender. The more they went to the back, the harder it was to fight, because the Dangxiang people were frightened by these chaos. Surrendering was death, so why not resist to the end?

As long as the Yinzhou and Mida Cave were occupied, Di Qing could hand over the place to Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road, and the army gathered. Only when the army was together could he be able to see it and no longer looting the people.

Liu Chang didn't say anything else. After observing these days, Di Qing himself was extremely strict in control, but the army that was divided into troops could not be completely controlled, and various things happened. Collect the army and fight the last battle, and there was an ending.

Jia Kui was in Linzhou and mobilized some of his subordinates to go to the periphery of Shuozhou. Suddenly, his personal soldiers came to report that Di Qing had sent the news, and the remaining troops of Dangxiang entered Anqingze and Huang Yangping, which made Jia Kui be careful and was shocked.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The Dangxiang people abandoned Yinzhou and Mida Cave and were surrounded by our army. What way out? They entered Huangyangping and were in the vast desert. Where did they intend to go? Do they still want to cross the Linfu Road and go to Khitan?"

The personal soldiers said: "Taiwei, Dangxiang's last escape was only 10,000 or 20,000 troops. How could he cross the Linfu Road? I think these Dangxiang people were just struggling in the end. As long as they sent someone to patrol, they would not dare to come."

Jia Kui shook his head: "If the army of Taiwei Di enters the suppression, they have nowhere to go, so be careful to come to me."

After saying that, they called the generals of the army to come over and arranged for inspection by the army. As long as they surrounded the Dangxiang people, they could not imagine it.

The Dangxiang people abandoned the city and fled, and Xia Anqi led their troops to occupy Xiazhou. After the arrangement, they went to Shizhou to meet Di Qing.

Di Qing brought people to welcome Xia'anqi into the official hall, and each sat down, saying: "They occupied Xiazhou, and Dangxiang had no more city, so they really made great contributions."

Xia Anqi said: "The Taiwei led a large army from Lingzhou to the east and defeated countless enemies. This battle was due to the Taiwei's contribution. The imperial court's intention was that after the war, the Taiwei gathered a large army, crossed Hengshan to Yanzhou, and took a train back to the capital."

Di Qing said: "I understand this. Now Dangxiang's remaining troops are about 20,000, and they fled to Anqingze and Huang Yangping. I must pay attention to it. I want to gather a large army in Xiazhou and Shizhou, and go north to attack the thieves to eliminate this problem. Destroy this enemy's backbone, and the army will return to the capital."

Xia Anqi pondered for a while and said, "Anqingze and Huangyang Ping are the Dangxiang pastures in the desert. How can they raise 20,000 people? I think these Dangxiang people will not stay much time, so they always have to find a way out."

Di Qing said: "I am afraid that the Dangxiang people will be cunning and wait for our army to leave and then invade the prefectures and counties. Since the army has come to this point, we should destroy the future troubles and prevent them from endangering the court. Only by destroying this thief can we maintain long-term stability."

Xia Anqi said: "It is naturally good for the Taiwei to think so. It is only an army of more than 200,000, and I am afraid that the supply of food and grass will not be enough."

Di Qing said: "I have to trouble the Taiwei and transfer some food and grass from the Fuyan Road. It's only a month away, so it shouldn't be difficult. Also, I already know that Jia Kui will transport food and grass from the Baode Army as a supplement. No matter what, I must fight in the last battle, so that Dangxiang will not give him a chance to turn things around!"

Xia Anqi nodded and said in a little embarrassed manner: "The Taiwei should be fast, the roads in this area are rugged and it is not easy to transport grain and grass."

Di Qing said: "I will pay attention. I will use 100,000 troops to attack the remnants of Dangxiang to see where they can escape! It has been six months since the military service was used. The last battle must be clean and beautiful, so that these Dangxiang people can remember it and dare not rebel again!"

Xia Anqi was not good at persuading him, so he had to agree to prepare food for Di Qing's troops. Wuding River is generally not open to navigation, and preparing food for 200,000 people is not easy. Even if there are other places to help, only preparing tens of thousands of people is a big challenge.

Walking on the mountain road, Jiao Yong looked around. It was spring, and the earth began to appear green, and unknown wild flowers bloomed on the mountain. Various wild beasts and birds jumped in the mountains, looking at the army vigilantly.

Jiao Yong said: "This time when we went to Shizhou, the Taiwei ordered us to go north to attack the remnants of Dangxiang, which was the last battle. The Dangxiang thieves ran into the desert, and I don't know what they were going to fight! We will suffer some trouble when we go to chase and suppress the enemy."

The general on the side said: "The most difficult thing in the desert is, and killing thieves is not good, it's a hard work."

Jiao Yong cursed: "The treasure you robbed in Longzhou is rare, aren't you satisfied? After arriving in Shizhou, the Taiwei should not act recklessly around you! If you are caught by the Taiwei and chopped your head with one knife, you will not plead with mercy."

Several generals stuck out their tongues after hearing this and said, "I heard that the generals who robbed iron smelting and smelting the generals were executed by the Taiwei, which scared many people. Dangxiang rebelled against the imperial court for many years and should have died, but he didn't expect the Taiwei to kill his subordinates for them."

Jiao Yong said: "The imperial court has strict orders, and the army can only kill enemies on the battlefield, not abuse the people, and not kill surrendered soldiers. How can the Taiwei not obey the order? Just killing more than a dozen people is already the Taiwei's kind-hearted. Otherwise, if we slaughter Longzhou, how could the Taiwei let go!"

Several generals hurriedly thanked Jiao Yong. Without Jiao Yong's tacit approval in the Longzhou matter, how could it be so smooth? Of course, the general presented a lot of treasures to Jiao Yong as a reward, and Jiao Yong happily accepted them.

Now Di Qing summoned a large army to gather in Xiazhou and Shizhou, and Jiao Yong was actually a little worried. However, along the way, he saw that many people were looted by the Song army in other places, so he felt much more at ease. The so-called law does not blame the masses, and only by doing this is the only way for Di Qing to settle the score. Many people have no choice but to kill a few people, but they cannot punish their generals on a large scale.
