Chapter 313 Captive
The four famous sceneries in Dali City are called "Flowers, Snow and Moon".

The so-called "Shangguan flowers, Xiaguan wind, Xiaguan wind blows Shangguan flowers; Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines Cangshan snow".

"Flowers, snow and moon" is not only the scenery, but also the defense system of Dali City.

Cangshan is the main peak of Yunling Mountains, composed of [-] peaks from north to south, majestic and majestic.

Erhai Lake is a large lake. It is said that it got its name because it is shaped like an ear. The lake is long.

Cangshan Mountain is in the west, Erhai Lake is in the east, and the narrow flat land in between is the location where Dali built the city.

The mountains and the sea cut off the access to Dali from east to west. There are "Shangguan" and "Xiaguan" in the north and south directions. These two pass cities are also called "Longshou Pass" and "Longwei Pass".

When the Mongol army attacked Dali, Wuliang and Tai could not pass the Longshou Pass for a long time, so Kublai Khan sent his troops to cross Cangshan Mountain.

This strange army froze to death on Cangshan Mountain, and seven or eight out of ten fell to their deaths. However, the survivors rushed straight down from Cangshan Mountain, joined forces with Wuliang to attack Longshou Pass, and then took down Dali City in one fell swoop.

In short, Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, Longshou Pass, and Longwei Pass guard Dali City on all sides, and it is absolutely difficult for non-elite soldiers to conquer it.

……

On May [-], Gao Nianfeng led more than [-] people and escorted more than [-] captives, passed through Longwei Pass, and headed towards Dali City.

Dong Kuang welcomed Gao Nianfeng outside Dali City...

"General Gao is really a strong general. It's a pity to be a retainer in the past. Tsk tsk, the Song thief who even the generals failed to defeat was captured by you."

"General Dong is overrated, it's just a fluke." Gao Nianfeng said.

Dong Kuang squinted his eyes, looked among the captives, and saw a man with shackles on his hands and feet, and asked, "Is that Li Xia? Is he too young?"

"This thief is only 17 years old this year."

"A young general, unfortunately, not as far away as Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was the lieutenant of Yao Yao. He led [-] cavalry into the desert, and he became a marquis in the first battle..."

Gao Nianfeng hurriedly said: "General Dong, be careful. This is under the rule of the Great Mongol Kingdom, so I dare not praise the Han people."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Dong Kuang smiled, patted Gao Nianfeng on the shoulder, and said, "The Great Mongol Kingdom doesn't commit crimes because of words. Besides, Mongolia also admires the achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It's just that they don't like Zhao Song. Think of Zhao Song as the orthodox Han people, hahaha.”

Gao Nianfeng knew that he was probing, so he didn't dare to answer, and said: "Now hand over the Song thief Li Xia to General Dong. Please take care of General Dong, don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Dong Kuang withdrew his hand, waved it casually, and ordered his men to take the prisoner down.

After finishing this matter, he looked up and saw the setting sun slowly setting on the top of Cangshan Mountain, it was already evening.

"It's getting late, shall I arrange for you to be stationed in the camp?"

"General Lao Dong is bothered."

"We also work for the Mongolian Kingdom, so why be polite? By the way, what are those?"

Dong Kuang pointed to the horses in Gao Nianfeng's army that were laden with a lot of things, and asked, "Baggage?"

"It's luggage." Gao Nianfeng said: "The dry food I brought, and the armor and weapons I captured."

"General Gao suppressed hundreds of people and brought so much baggage?"

"Be careful."

"Haha, I have a heart, I have a heart..."

into the night.

Tongya City.

Gao Suihe entered the study, only to see Gao Qiong sitting in a wheelchair and dozing off with his eyes closed.

"Young master, the list has been sorted out."

"Say."

“这次高年丰带出城的兵力对外称是2000人，实则1000人。在化佛寺清洗了310八人、在云南城清洗150七人，余520五人。”

Gao Qiong asked: "These five hundred people are reliable?"

"They are all loyal and willing to serve the young master." Gao Sui said, "This is the list, as well as their family roster."

"Take out all the money in Curry, and reward them when they come back."

"Yes. But what the villain is worried about is, where is Dali City?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Gao Qiong said: "Li Xianwei will help us handle things properly."

Gao Suihe thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Do you want...to contact the relic monk?"

"No need... the world is like chess, and the eyes of the chess are not here."

Old and do not understand.

But Gao Qiong didn't explain, and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

Ever since he broke his hands and feet, his temper has become more and more boring...

~~
"I heard that you broke Gao Qiong's tendons?"

"Yes."

Dong Kuang grinned, leaned in front of Li Xia, and said, "You are really ruthless."

"It's okay." Li Xia said.

"Are you afraid that I will also break your tendons and hamstrings?"

Li Xia said: "You won't, you should keep me well until Ah Shu comes back."

"is it?"

"In Dali, there are many people who hate me. But if they want to vent their anger on me, they have to line up and wait behind Ah Hou."

"Ha." Dong Kuang said, "You can see this quite clearly."

He took a few steps in front of Li Xia and said, "Actually, I admire you very much... You may not know that I admire Sinology. My grandfather once paid tribute to the Song Dynasty and told me about the prosperity of Lin'an. I am very yearning. A few years ago, when Han people like you came to Dali as guests, we could become friends."

"It's not too late now."

"It's late." Dong Kuang shook his head and sighed, "It's too late."

This is the garrison outside Dali City. Two hundred prisoners were housed in a barn, and only Li Xia had a simple tent.

The light from the bonfire outside came in, only half of Li Xia's face could be seen.

Even though he was imprisoned, he was still calm and imposing.

"General, Gao Nianfeng has come to see you again."

"What's the matter?"

"It is said that I brought two jugs of wine and had a drink with the general."

"Ha." Dong Kuang said, "Just drink here."

After he finished his orders, he turned to Li Xia again.

"Look at you, you can only be tied here and watch us drink and have fun. Song people from the state of etiquette, tsk tsk, one day, you will also succumb to the iron heel of Mongolia. It's a pity that you are not included, you dare to kill Wu Lianghetai will only be crushed by Ashu..."

Although Dong Kuang has a family demeanor, he talks a lot.After rambling on for a long time, he realized that he was here to interrogate Li Xia.

"Let's talk about it. Since you attacked Wuliang Hetai last year, you have explained everything that needs to be explained."

"Yes." Li Xia said: "At that time, Xuzhou Zhizhou Shijun defeated Wuliang Hetai, which gave me a chance to chase him..."

After a while, when Li Xia finished speaking, Dong Kuang asked again: "Did you go south this time under Shi Jun's order?"

"No, I plan to do some smuggling business and save Gao Changshou."

"How many troops have you brought?"

"Nine hundred."

"Didn't the Syrian and Changning armies send troops to support you?"

"No, they don't have many troops."

"Tell me about the defense of Shu." Dong Kuang said again.

"Okay, they plan to build a city in Lingxiao Mountain..."

Dong Kuang watched the clerk move his brush like flying, couldn't help smiling, his eyes gradually became contemptuous.

"I didn't realize that you are still a soft bone, so you recruited so quickly."

Li Xia said: "I don't want you to torture me."

"Heh. Tell me, why do you dare to go back to Dali again?"

"I want to take the Lingguan Road and support Pu Zezhi in attacking Chengdu."

Dong Kuang was taken aback, and said, "Speak carefully."

"But I'm afraid there's not enough time." Li Xia said, "Let's talk about making friends first."

"Make friends?" Dong Kuang laughed again, this time with sarcasm.

He turned his head and saw Gao Nianfeng walking towards him outside the tent, holding two jugs of wine in his hand.

"Make friends?" Dong Kuang sneered again, picked up a whip and said, "I told you, it's too late."

"It's not too late, this is your last chance."

"Funny." Dong Kuang weighed the whip in his hand and said with a smile, "Yes... I will keep your life until Marshal Du returns to vent my hatred, but that doesn't mean I won't torture you."

Li Xia said: "I'm serious, I'll tell you one last thing, it's not too late."

With a sound of "shua", Dong Kuang shook the whip and was about to raise his hand to whip it off.

"General Dong." Gao Nianfeng walked into the tent.

He brought the jug in his hand to Dong Kuang, and said, "I heard, I brought some good wine... What? Interrogation overnight?"

"Well, you can ask from General Song's mouth..."

Gao Nianfeng let go of his hand, and the wine jug fell to the ground, revealing a dagger in his hand, which instantly slashed towards Dong Kuang's throat.

"Boom."

The jug fell to the ground.

Dong Kuang stared, blood gushed from his throat...

"Puff puff puff..."

Inside and outside the tent, the sound of knives piercing people's bodies continued, and finally someone began to scream miserably.

……

With the sound of the iron chain, the shackles on Li Xia's body have been untied.

He glanced at Dong Kuang's body, and said in a low voice, "Now, it's really late..."
