Unparalleled Concubine

After Zhao Jia on the top of the mountain saw Li Xin waving his arms, he turned his head and spoke to several Zhechong captains.

"Several generals, Master Hou said that you can go down!"

Chapter 507 Let him figure it out

Without Li Shen and Li Yan, the [-] defenders in Hanzhong City could defend Ye Ming for a while, but could not defend Ye Shaobao I. For two full months, Ye Ming's troops were attacking without haste, but after two One day a month later, Ye Ming suddenly ordered a full-scale assault. This round of onslaught continued from morning to night, and then the imperial army withdrew, and continued the onslaught early the next morning.

This attack lasted for three full days.

For more than two months, Ye Shaobao prepared an unknown number of siege equipment. The momentum of Hanzhong City had been wiped out by these two months. In the evening of the same day, a battering hammer smashed open the city gate of Hanzhong, and the densely packed Forbidden Army poured into Hanzhong City like ants.

General Ye, who was supervising the battle from a distance, put down the binoculars in his hand and clenched his fists.

"The city gate is broken!"

"Send orders, attack with all your strength, whoever first occupies the Hanzhong General's Mansion in Hanzhong will be promoted to the third rank, rewarded with ten thousand gold, and named a military rank!"

Each of these three rewards is enough to make people jealous. Under the heavy rewards, the eyes of these forbidden soldiers were all red, and they rushed towards the opened gate of Hanzhong City.

At night, the Zhengxi army completely broke through the city of Hanzhong, and the defenders in the city were either killed or surrendered. Even Meng Qi, the general of Hanzhong in the general's mansion of Hanzhong, was tied up and waited for Ye Shaobao to deal with him.

Originally, this General of Hanzhong had agreed with Li Shen to defend the city for three months. If he couldn't hold on after three months, he could withdraw from Hanzhong City and retreat to the southwestern hinterland, so as not to be captured. After taking down Hanzhong, Meng Qi naturally had nowhere to escape, and was directly caught by the Forbidden Army who were jealous of their glory and wealth.

The turmoil in Hanzhong City lasted for a whole night. When the sky brightened the next morning, General Ye led his people into Hanzhong City officially.

At this time, after two months of consumption, there were only about 5000 defenders left in Hanzhong City. After a night of consumption last night, only 8000 people were left, and all of them had surrendered. After arriving in Hanzhong, it was immediately announced that all the seven or eight thousand captives would be incorporated. However, the recruitment was to be incorporated, but it was unlikely that they would be taken directly to the West Expedition, and they would be thrown to the officials sent by the imperial court for disposal.

In the past two months, General Ye's side was not completely exhausted. After all, the side that attacked the city was absolutely at a disadvantage. After more than two months, nearly 1 people under Ye Ming's command died in the Hanzhong city. Nearly 1 people lost combat effectiveness.

However, these casualties were within Ye Ming's estimation. As a general who has led troops for more than ten years, Ye Shaobao's mood did not fluctuate at all. A, stepped into the Hanzhong General's Mansion.

General Meng Qi of Hanzhong was detained in the lobby to wait for his release.

This Hanzhong general, also a man, tried to commit suicide several times after being captured, but because he was tied too firmly, he never succeeded in committing suicide.

It is worth mentioning here that biting your tongue will generally not kill you. Even if you bite off your tongue, you will only become dumb with inarticulate speech.

Of course, it is also possible to die from excessive blood loss.

Under normal circumstances, no one would commit suicide in this way.

Therefore, General Meng Qi failed to die.

Ye Ming walked into the main hall of Hanzhong General's Mansion with his hands behind his back and armor behind his back. After he sat on the main seat, he took a cold look at Meng Qi, who was kneeling down, and waved to the left and right: "Let him speak."

Several of Ye Ming's soldiers immediately stepped forward and untied the cloth strips that were tied around Meng Qi's mouth.

Ye Ming's face was indifferent, and he shouted in a deep voice: "You are the general of Hanzhong appointed by the emperor of Jin Dynasty. Now that the Southwest is in trouble, not only do you not help the court to suppress the rebellion, how can you help the rebels and stop the court's king?"

Meng Qi is a bearded man, and he is also a rough man on weekdays. At this time, the Hanzhong General's face was a little pale, but he didn't show any fear. Facing General Ye's shouting and questioning, Meng Qi, who was tightly bound He looked calm.

"Ye Shaobao, with today's situation, Meng Qi only wants to die quickly, there is nothing else to say."

Ye Ming was not very angry at first, but he was very annoyed by Meng Qi's words. He said with a sullen face: "Why do you help the Southwest, and you also help out loyalty and righteousness?"

"In this world, there has never been any loyalty and morality."

General Hanzhong looked calm, and said indifferently: "General Ye is the eldest son of Ye Guogong and one of the great generals of the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, he doesn't know that the people below us are exposed. Meng's wife and children live in Jincheng. This body has long been If I'm not dead, General Ye asked me so righteously, how can it help?"

Back then when Li Zhijie was in southern Xinjiang, he was just supporting his own troops, but after Li Shen took over Southern Xinjiang, he gradually began to draw up territory in southern Xinjiang, gathering the military and political power in the entire southwest.

The military power is the Pingnan Army, which needless to say, but according to the original rules, the regime in the southwest has no turn to intervene with the Pingnan Army, but no matter what magistrate or prefect is sent by the imperial court, there will only be two results in the end, either It is obedient, or it is a dead word.

Therefore, for more than ten years, the entire Southwest has been firmly held in Li Shen's hands, and a Hanzhong general like Meng Qi, who has a vital point, has been held by Li Shen and cannot move.

Ye Shaobao glanced at Meng Qi, who was happy and fearless, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He had heard about Li's surname in the Southwest for a long time, but what he heard was not as good as what he saw. Now that he picked it up with his own eyes, Ye Ming can feel how profound the Li family has left on the land of southern Xinjiang. imprint.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk to you."

Ye Ming waved his hand weakly, and said in a deep voice, "Take him down and show him to the public."

No matter what hardships Meng Qi has, betraying the court is betraying the court. Li Shen may still have the capital to negotiate with the court, but Meng Qi absolutely does not. Whether Ye Ming sympathizes with him or not, he is A dead word.

Now simply kill him, firstly, it will save him from suffering, and secondly, he can use Meng Qi's head to frighten the Southwest.

You know, Hanzhong has just opened the door to the southwest.

The next step is to fight Yangping Pass, then Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and pass through the three passes, which is the Jianmen Pass in Jiange, which is known as the natural danger.

Hitting these gates, with Meng Qi's head there, is more useful than any frightening proclamation.

After dealing with Meng Qi, Ye Ming waved his hand, and the opponent wrote down the letter and said: "Immediately write a letter to the imperial court to tell the imperial court the great victory in the Southwest, and to play your Majesty. The casualties of my Western Army are quite heavy. Please ask the imperial court to pay for it as soon as possible. Second, please ask the imperial court to send someone to take over the government affairs of Hanzhong."

The clerk nodded and immediately went down to do it.

General Ye thought for a while, then called the captain of the scout battalion who was in charge of inquiring about the news, and asked, "Where is the Marquis of Jing'an's headquarters?"

The scout captain shook his head, and said: "I'm not sure, when they sent the news last time, they seemed to have just passed Motianling, but it's really not easy to pass the news there, and we don't know where they are going at the moment." Where is it?"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Try to tell Jing'an Hou Li Xin that Hanzhong City is broken."

"The remaining……"

Ye Ming thought for a while, and finally said in a muffled voice, "Let him figure it out."

"Yes!"

Chapter 508 Stealing Home!

After breaking through Hanzhong City, you have to go through Yangping Pass, Baishui Pass, and Jiameng Pass to reach Jiange. Fortunately, these three passes are all small passes. After the city of Hanzhong was broken, Ye Ming would not have any difficulty in getting to the Jiange. General Ye ordered to rest in Hanzhong for a whole day. After recovering enough energy, he headed towards Yangping Pass.

At this time, near Jiangyou Pass on the other side of the Jiange, several "unidentified humanoid creatures" emerged from the dense forest and secretly looked at Jiangyou Pass.

Jiangyou Pass is a very small pass. The purpose of this pass is to prevent people from sneaking over Motianling. However, according to everyone's common sense, it is impossible for large groups of troops to cross Motianling. Therefore, there are not many people here. .

No more than 2000 people.

With such a number of people, even if you don't use your brain, you can flatten the past. When Deng Ai led a surprise attack on Jiangyou, the guards didn't dare to fight, so they surrendered directly.

After several humanoid creatures took a few glances at Jiangyou Pass, they shrank back again. One of them was holding two unnamed wild fruits in his hand, each of which was very sweet.

Naturally, these people were Li Xin and others who had crossed the Motian Ridge. In fact, their main force was still in the dense forest behind them. They came out first to check the situation.

"Master Hou, when will the Jiangyou Pass be moved?"

A little white face with an unshaven beard and messy hair, but a clean face asked.
