The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 860
The dark moon and the high wind killed the night, but it was a day of relief for the people Li Yuanhao plundered.

Nanli General Shi Bao's army had ambushed in the woods on the other side of the river a few days ago, waiting to transport this group of Han people, while the enemy general Mu Jun, who had been marching for several days, had already lost his vigilance.

Shi Bao commanded Tang Bin, Cui Ye, Nie Gong, Wen Zhongrong, Liu Xian and others with one strike, and wiped out the enemy army. After beheading the enemy general Mu Jun, he sent the people to Li Bao's water army who had been waiting for a long time. .

However, the Shibao Army did not return with them. Instead, they changed their clothes and marched quickly for a certain distance, and then marched quietly and covertly, hanging far behind Li Yuanhao's army.

Lao Niu led his troops back a hundred miles, taking advantage of the slow marching speed of the people and Li Yuanhao's unfavorable situation, he would choose to divide his troops with a high probability.

An army was then sent to attack and free the [-] 'hostages'.

This was the strategy of "advancing through retreat" planned by Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong at the beginning. As for exchanging the "hostage" for the master of Feilong Palace, it was just an additional strategy after capturing the woman alive.

But judging from the current situation, it is clear that General Nanli's task is not just to rescue the hostages.

We looked at Li Yuanhao's Xixia Army, and after dividing up the troops to let the Qiang coalition army rescue Wuzhi, we led the elite and the Proton Army to the north.

After a quick march of hundreds of miles, I saw another camp of the Song Army....

The scale of this camp is exactly the same as the one that was breached before. Antlers and arrow towers are all available, and it is obvious that the fortifications have been completed.

We can imagine how intense Li Yuanhao's depression was when he saw this situation.

Some people may question why they didn't bypass the camp and attack Fuping directly?
The disadvantages of circumventing the camp have been mentioned many times in the previous article, so I won’t repeat them here. In this case, Li Yuanhao led cavalry to attack the city, which has no effect, even if it is an iron kite!
Li Yuanhao, who was struggling to even attack the camp, let alone a city at the level of Fuping Nazhi.

If they really went around the camp to storm Fuping, they would hit Niu Gao and the others' arms, and they could attack Gaoping directly from the navy.

Li Yuanhao's real goal is only to seek field battles, but Lu Su and others have seen through Li Yuanhao's intentions, which is to avoid fighting or use his strengths (defending the city) to attack his weaknesses.

"Catch! Capture the local Han people again, and order Mu Jun to speed up his march and bring those Han people!" Li Yuanhao almost gave the order through gritted teeth.

Judging from Li Yuanhao's tone, it is obvious that this person no longer regards the Han people as his own people, and Li Yuanhao has already dug his own grave when he followed Zhang Pu's plan.

Throughout history, the regimes that the grassland people maintained for a long time after they invaded the south all accepted the Han people, and then they were slowly Sinicized to spread for a long time, such as the Liao Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, and Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The resistance to the Han people is as strong as that of Meng Yuan, and it has only ruled for less than a century (97 years), not to mention that Li Yuanhao's Xixia was established on Liangzhou, China.

Even if Li Yuanhao wins the war by luck, he can no longer get the support of the Han people and only rely on the Dangxiang people and the Qiang people can only linger on his last breath.

Following Li Yuanhao's order, the cavalry squads scattered around to search for villages, which was a profitable business. The actions of this group of Xixia soldiers were much more active than fighting.

It just didn’t make these people excited for long. After about an hour or so, everyone came back to report to Li Yuanhao that it was very unified. No villages or Han people were found within a radius of ten miles, as if all the population had disappeared.

When Zhang Pu heard the report, his expression darkened and he thought to himself, "Could it be..."

"What? Search and expand the scope to search! Do I need to teach you this!" Li Yuanhao glared at each other and roared and ordered, and the scared centurions and thousand commanders continued to search one by one as if they were running away.

For a whole day, the Xixia people expanded the scope of their looting to thirty miles, not to say that there were a few escaped Han Chinese in twos and threes, but they did not reach the scale of "hostages" at all.

These Han people in twos and threes are not abandoned by the Song Army, but there is a kind of stubborn people commonly known as "head iron" everywhere. These very few people are unwilling to leave their homeland for one purpose.

Either you have a fluke mentality that you will not be caught, and some are even more ridiculous and believe that you are the so-called Xixia people and will not be caught. ghost! 'That's what these people are talking about!

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!", "Your Majesty let us go out of kindness!"

Li Yuanhao looked at the centurion and the thousand commander with a cold face, as well as the people who were arrested in twos and threes and knelt and begged for mercy, just about to order "delay..."

"Master, Yuan still has some questions to ask these people." Zhang Yuan interrupted Li Yuanhao's order, and the latter looked at Zhang Yuan for a long time and nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing Li Yuanhao's cold and murderous face, Zhang Yuan was slightly touched in his heart, and slightly regretted, but now that he is already a grasshopper on a rope, he can only go all the way to the dark.

"Why are you the only ones here? Where did the others go?"

The few people who were afraid of death told the whole thing about the migration of the Song army's population, and Zhang Yuan was shocked, "there is an expert on the opposite side!" ', not only Zhang Yuan was shocked, Zhang Pu's face was also very ugly.

After Zhang Yuan got the answer he wanted, he returned to line up and just meditated without doing any other superfluous actions.

"Drag it down and kill..." Li Yuanhao wanted to give the order again, full of murderous intent.

"Wait! Brother Huang, what crime did these people commit? They are the people of Daxia!" Huang Qiongnv finally couldn't help but interrupted the question. She didn't understand Li Yuanhao's order at all.

Li Yuanhao was interrupted for the second time when he wanted to give an order. His face, which was already full of murderous aura, became even uglier, and his murderous intent was already overflowing.

When Li Yuanhao saw that it was Huang Qiongnv's adopted sister, he thought of Princess Feilong whom he shot and killed with his own hands, and his heart softened. Don't misunderstand that it was not the softness towards these Han people, but the softness towards Huang Qiongnv!

Originally, Li Yuanhao was going to kill the person who interrupted, so Huang Qiongnv actually walked around the ghost gate, Li Yuanhao still explained: "They are Han Chinese!"

"But they are also unarmed people! It's not a wise king to kill unarmed people..." Hearing Li Yuanhao's explanation, Huang Qiongnv was even more dissatisfied and wanted to continue, "Enough! They are Han people, not my Daxia's. Common people, I don’t know how many Han people want me to die, and if I let them go, they will turn to the enemy the next moment! Don’t do anything!”

The last sentence Li Yuanhao almost yelled out, causing the guards to step forward immediately and drag these commoners down.

"My lord, spare me!", "We didn't go with Song Jun!", "Ah..."

Soon there were several shrill screams, and Huang Qiongnv's heart trembled when she saw Li Yuanhao who was contented at the moment. This was no longer the talented elder brother, but a downright devil....
