Chapter 295
Flooded riverside.

On March 28th, [-] Dali soldiers from Shanchan City meandered over and stopped again in front of Duanshi's barracks by the flooded river.

Duan Shi was protected by his personal guards, and he stepped forward and ordered: "General Ye first ordered you to be commanded by me, and go to Tongshi City to intercept the Song army... Now I order you to cross the river immediately, leave the luggage behind, and I will personally escort you .”

After the handover, 3000 people began to tide over the flooding.

……

Duan Shi turned his head to look at Bao San again.

"What are you looking at?!" Bao San cursed.

Duan Shi turned his head, stopped looking at him, and didn't speak, the bitterness on his face grew stronger.

Bao San asked Duan Shi to be escorted down, while he strode into the camp.

"County Lieutenant, the Dali army has already started crossing the river."

Li Xia was standing in the camp looking at the map, talking with Gao Mingyue in a low voice, then turned his head and said, "Let the soldiers watch them cross the river, and if they find anything unusual, immediately attack halfway. But if everything goes well, You don’t have to act rashly.”

"Yes."

After a long time, Bao San turned back again, clasped his fists and said: "County Captain, the three thousand Dali troops have all survived the flood."

Li Xia said: "Release Duan Shi and watch him tear down the pontoon bridge after crossing the river."

"Let go?"

Bao San scratched his head, extremely puzzled.

A look that wants to speak but dare not speak.

Li Xia said, "Just say what you want to say."

Bao Sandao: "The villain doesn't understand. Yesterday, when the thousand mengtars passed by, we had a chance to attack halfway. Today is the same, but why don't we fight?"

Li Xia said: "If you attacked those thousand Mongols halfway yesterday, how many people are you confident you can wipe out?"

"There should be two or three hundred people."

"Why only two or three hundred?"

Bao Sandao: "Meng Ta crossed the river, we attacked suddenly, we could kill some, but they were fast, they could run far along the river, and then reorganized."

"How many people will we lose?"

"Eating a round of arrows from the Mongolian army on the other side, the loss is less than a hundred people."

Li Xia asked: "Hundreds of casualties, 300 Mengtas killed. Earned?"

"made money!"

"If you were in the Song Dynasty, you can say this." Li Xia said: "For example, in the first battle last year, we had the Syrian State Army and the Luzhou Army in the north, and the Changning Army in the south. We held the initiative. No matter the casualties, we must stay The combination of Wuliang and Taiwan has extremely high strategic significance because it can severely damage the morale of the Mongolian army.

But this is Dali, the territory of Mongolia.We exchanged 300 people for 1000 of him.When he regains his strength, he can catch up again. It is still a month's journey to go back five feet from here. Will the Mongolian army fail to catch up with us?So what's the point of exchanging 300 people for [-] people with [-] celebration symbols and [-] soldiers? "

"Yes, the villain understands."

"Since you didn't even fight Mengta yesterday, why did you fight some Dali soldiers today?"

Bao San asked again: "That part is really released like this? The villain always feels that it was so hard to catch it, it's a pity to let it go."

"That's because you value him too much." Li Xia looked down at the map again, and said flatly, "He's nothing, and he doesn't deserve your attention."

"Yes, the villain is going to release Duan Shi now?"

"Let it go."

Li Xia waved Bao San back, looked at the map again, his eyes filled with thought.

Gao Mingyue stood aside and did not speak.

Gao Changshou pondered and said, "Shanchan City's troops are weak at the moment, we just need to go through quickly, and then we can go east to the Wumeng tribe."

"Yes, we have almost transferred all the enemy's troops to the west. Next, we will head east all the way. There are not many enemies in front of us that can stop us from returning."

"Then why is Feiyu still hesitating?"

Li Xia said: "I'm worried that Yexian's thousand cavalry will catch up, and I'm worried that the Luo Po tribe will surround us. So... I actually have a small idea."

"Ok?"

Li Xia pointed to the map and said, "Look, the flooded water originates from the southeast of Yunnan City, flows from west to east to Weichu City, turns north at Weichu City, and flows into Jinsha River from south to north.

If we don't go east, but go south along the flood water, we can reach Weichu, and then turn west, we can return to Yunnan City all the way. "

"Return to Yunnan City?"

"That's right. Everyone thinks that we've got rid of our pursuers now, and we're bound to go east, and we're going to hunt us down first. The cities in the west won't be prepared."

Gao Changshou raised his eyebrows and said, "A surprise attack on Dali City?"

"Yes, a surprise attack on Dali City." Li Xia said: "We can change into the robes of the Dali Army and pretend to be a counter-insurgency return..."

Gao Changshou's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Gao Mingyue asked in a low voice.

"Why?"

Li Xia murmured: "Yeah, why..."

When he thought of the idea of ​​surprise attacking Dali City, he was overwhelmed with emotion. After thinking about it over and over again, he also felt that this idea was very feasible.

But it doesn't make sense, even if you take down Dali City and kill Duan Xingzhi, it doesn't make much sense. When the Mongolian army from all over the country counterattacks, they won't be able to defend it, so they can only go north to the Lingguan Road to return to the Song Dynasty.

The danger on this road is much higher than walking the five-foot road. Among other things, taking the Lingguan road to Yazhou and Chengdu is under the rule of the Mongolian army. It is better to fight for a way out in Dali.

The gain outweighs the loss, and there is no strategic purpose for Li Xia to do this.

Li Xia thought about it, but finally gave up on this idea.

"Let's go. Go east immediately, let's go back..."

~~
At the same time, Xu Kui was running wildly on the road.

He has a message to bring to Li Xia as soon as possible.

The appeasement envoy of Tongchuan Road and Zhu Yusun, who also knew Luzhou, transferred Qingfu County to the north.According to Li Yong's analysis... this year the Song army will recover Chengdu.

Xu Kui is going to tell Li Xia that if he wants to participate in the battle to recover Chengdu, he must go back immediately.

~~
On the west bank of the flooded river, Duan Shi suddenly heard a loud noise behind him.

Looking back, I saw that the pontoon had collapsed.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then thought of the conversation with Li Xia.

"I did as you said, will you really let me go back?"

"Why not?" Li Xia said, "What's the point of killing you? Without Duan Shi, there will be Duan Xu and Duan Kong, who will serve as loyal dogs to the Mongols. There are so many descendants of the Duan family, and I can't kill them all. It's better to keep you, who was frightened by me."

"You despise me?"

"Yes. You have to be capable to make me look up to you."

"I do not believe."

"Think about it." Li Xia said: "What I want is enough time for me to leave safely. After you go back, you have two choices. One is to tell the truth, and the other is to pretend that you don't know anything. First without cheating."

"Pretend not to know anything? How can I hide such a big thing?"

"You find your own way..."

Now, Li Xia fulfilled his promise.It's time for Duan Shi to figure out his own way.

He calmly analyzed the situation and thought that he was sure to hide it from the past. After all, Li Xia fought first without making peace. The only problem now is that there are 1000 people missing...

Duan Shi thought about this along the way, and headed towards Tongshi City.

After walking for more than half a day, I suddenly saw dust flying in front of me, so I also led the troops first.

Duan Shi hastened to meet him.

……

"Also first general."

"Did you meet Song Jun on the road?"

"No, it depends on whether the Song army fled north or south." Duan Shi said, "By the way, I left 1000 people guarding the flood."

Also first furious.

He didn't have an attack at first, and he asked first, to see if Duan Shi had been captured and persecuted, but he didn't expect to dare to deceive himself at this time.

"Take this traitor down for me!"

Duan Shi was taken aback for a moment, and he still had a lot of fabricated words to say, he felt a pain in his body, and was knocked off his horse by Ye Xian's head hammer.

Youmeng pawn quickly grabbed him and held him down.

"General first! Misunderstanding... Misunderstood... What is going on? Misunderstood..."

~~
After another half a day, Duan Shi finally understood what was going on.

He was brought back to Tongya City by Meng Zu, and fell into a prison cell.

In the darkness, there was a "clack" sound, and then someone came with a torch.

Duan Shi squinted his eyes and saw someone pushing a wheelchair, getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"Gao Qiong?! Is it you? You...you didn't leave...you didn't go with Li Xia?"

Gao Qiong sat on the wheelchair, with his hands hanging down, he said, "Why should I go?"

"Gao Qiong, what happened to your hands and feet? Are they useless? Did Gao Junjin do it?" Duan Shi spoke quickly, and said, "I didn't do it, I don't know. It was Gao Junjin who did it in the first place. It was he who came to me to sue you, really, I didn't instruct him. I thought you left with the Song people...how did you...how dare you stay?"

Gao Qiong said slowly: "Stay here, of course to kill you."

"You can't kill me! You dare not kill me! I am the prince of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, and I will be the general manager of Dali in the future... You can't kill me."

"I dare." Gao Qiong said.

He has become a cripple with both hands and feet, but there is an undeniable power in his words.

"You colluded with Monk Sari. I have proof."

"You nonsense!" Duan Shi roared, "You don't want to frame me!"

"Framed? You sent someone to rescue the relic monk from the battlefield. The evidence is solid. Did I frame it?"

Duan Shi was taken aback, his eyes widened.

Only now did he recall it.

"I didn't collude with the demon monk!" Duan Shi yelled, "I did it to make more contributions... I sent people to follow him in order...to make more contributions in the future, you can't frame me, you can't .”

Gao Qiong stared at him as if he was looking at a dead person, and murmured: "Don't forget... Dali, it's the Mongolian Dali..."
