I will never be Renzong

Chapter 155 The Intercepted Li Yuanhao

In Liangzhou city, a Qiang general led the soldiers and common people in the city to move bags of marching rations to the gate of the city. At the same time, there were many strong horses lined up neatly outside the city wall.

The [-] army led by Li Yuanhao is coming soon, and the cities along the way will prepare dry rations and war horses when they get the news in advance, and wait for Li Yuanhao to come with the troops, and then quickly replenish them, and then rush to Lingzhou.

It is nearly 800 kilometers from Liangzhou to Guazhou. Li Yuanhao used this method to solve the supply problem.

"Tap tap~"

At noon, the sound of horseshoes came from far and near.

"Quick! Get water bags and dry food ready!"

The guard of Guazhou hurriedly gave instructions to the soldiers and common people on both sides of the city.

"Tap tap~"

"Woo la la~"

Tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared in the sight of the people of Liangzhou, approaching, approaching, but the speed of this cavalry did not slow down at all, instead there were bursts of shouts of killing.

"Not good! Close the city gate! These are Tubo cavalry!"

After the generals of the Qiang people saw the flags hanging clearly, they just woke up like a dream.

But it was too late, the Tubo cavalry had already charged [-] meters from the city gate. Just as the two soldiers were about to close the door, they were rushed away by the panicked people, and then the Tubo soldiers in chain mail rushed in. Inside the city, he raised his scimitar and slashed at the unprepared guarding soldiers and Qiang people.

"Zhaxigrad, speed control the city gate! Be quick!"

A Tubo general in his thirties slashed and killed the Qiang general who rushed towards him, and then said to a Tubo general in front of him.

"Quza, you lead the vanguard to quickly clear the remaining enemies in the city! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

"It's Zamp!"

A strong Tibetan man led thousands of cavalry towards the state capital.

There were less than a thousand defenders in Liangzhou, and they were unprepared. In less than half an hour, the Tubo army took control of the entire Liangzhou city.

The Tubo army who came to attack Liangzhou came from the Qingtang tribe, and the leader was Ji Siluo.

Ji Siluo, born in 997, when he was born, the powerful Tubo Dynasty had already been torn apart, and was in the midst of clan wars and civil strife caused by warlords. Many royal families had to leave their hometowns to escape the war.

When Ji Siluo was 12 years old, he was taken back from the Western Regions by a Qiang from Hezhou named He Lang Yexian.At that time, Tubo's power had already declined.The mainland of Tibet is torn apart; the Helong area is even more "dispersed, with thousands of families in the big ones and hundreds of families in the small ones, and there is no unity."

However, the Dangxiang tribe living in the northeastern region of Tubo gradually became stronger and stronger under the leadership of the outstanding leader Li Jiqian and with the strong support of the northern power Khitan.With the Ling and Xia regions as the center, they invaded the border counties of Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south, and invaded the Tubo and Uighurs in the west. They had the potential to unify the northwest.

After he was taken back, Zanpu was the supreme figure in Tubo in name, but in fact he was a puppet in the hands of religious leaders and local tyrants in the Hehuang area.

At that time, the already powerful religious and local tyrannical forces in the Hehuang area both pursued Siluo as a precious prey.Ji Siluo is only twelve years old, which is undoubtedly the best control for the tyrants.

Therefore, after He Lang Yexian brought back Ji Siluo, he was first placed in Xincheng, and then immediately moved to Yigong City by the surname Shuchang Shujun, and then he was kidnapped to Kuo by Zongge monk Li Lizun and Miaochuan chief Wen Buqi. Later, Li Lizun moved Zong Siluo to Zongge City alone.

In the eyes of these tyrannical and powerful surnames, the young Gu Siluo is just the "Liu Penzi" and "Han Xiandi" in history, who can enable them to achieve the goal of "holding the emperor to command the princes" so as to develop and strengthen their own power.

Li Lizun was a greedy, cruel and lustful man who often killed people at will. In order to satisfy his extravagant life, he married eighteen women from the Tibetan tribe as his wives.Especially in diplomacy, he implemented a set of policies against the Song Dynasty, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the tribes.

In order to control Zongsiluo, Li Lizun married his younger sister to Zongsiluo as his concubine, but Zongsiluo was very disgusted with Li Lizun's domineering and perverse behavior.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Li Lizun was defeated by Cao Wei, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his power was greatly weakened, he left Zongge and came to Miaochuan, where he got rid of Li Lizun's control; and ordered Li Lizun to be dismissed from his position as Lunbu and replaced by Miaochuan. The great chief Wen Buqi is Lun Bu.

Zusiluo was pro-Song Dynasty, so Zhao Zhen ordered someone to bring him his own handwritten edict, asking him to send troops to occupy Liangzhou and block Li Yuanhao's retreat.

But Wen Buqi and the party members have been flirting with each other all the time, so naturally they disagreed with leading troops to come, and even wanted to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty. He Siluo wanted to attach himself to the Song Dynasty, so he resisted all opinions and personally led [-] Tubo soldiers to attack Liangzhou.

"Zanpu! Our army has captured Liangzhou City! Dare to ask Zanpu! How to deal with the people in the city!"

Tubo military general Qu Zha asked Xun Siluo.

"The Qiang people in Dangxiang are all soldiers. Li Yuanhao came with an army of [-]. Our army is no more than [-]. If there are people who cooperate with the inside and outside, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend the city. Send the order of Ben Zanpu to kill all the men of the Qiang nationality in the city. But be careful not to touch a single hair of the Han people, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

Zhe Siluo ordered.

"Yes!"

Quza will do it now!

In Liangzhou city, there is a large Qiang family, and the whole house is sharpening their knives, planning to wait for Li Yuanhao to come with his troops, so that they can take the opportunity to counterattack and take Liangzhou back.

Suddenly a group of Tubo soldiers came in, saw the people who were sharpening their knives, and immediately swung their knives to slash them.

There were also Qiang women who raised their weapons in an attempt to resist, but they were women after all, and their strength could not match that of the Tibetans, so the Tibetans knocked their weapons into the air as soon as they exerted force, and then held them against their shoulders. walk towards the house
Several ferocious Tubo soldiers broke into another house.

After the head of the host family, his wife and children were searched out, the host family hurriedly shouted: "Forgive me!"

A Tubo soldier said in unfluent Chinese: "Are you Han?"

"Yes!"

The master replied tremblingly.

"Brothers, this family is Han Chinese, so you can't move, let's go, the next family will continue to have fun!"

The Tubo soldiers greeted him, retreated with a clatter, and then drew a big cross in front of his house.

Tubo wars and Qiang people have always liked to slaughter cities, but in history, the Mongols were the ones who were really fierce and cruel. After Genghis Khan wiped out Xixia, he massacred nearly 200 million Qiang people, making the Dangxiang Qiang people exterminated.

Li Yuanhao came with an army of [-] and saw the flag of the Qingtang tribe standing on the top of the city. The food and grass they had were not enough for three days. They originally thought of replenishing supplies in Liangzhou, but unexpectedly Liangzhou was occupied by Xisiluo.

But the reality is that Li Yuanhao has [-] troops, and the Liangzhou defenders are less than [-]. Moreover, they are Tubo soldiers who are not good at defending the city. Almost all the siege equipment has been abandoned, so even if the enemy is three times stronger, there is no way to take Liangzhou City for a while.
