Chapter 316 Calm down
Duan Xingzhi stared blankly outside the hall.

He knew where the Fanyin Tower was in the mansion. From the gate to the Fanyin Tower, one had to pass through a narrow corridor. The bluestone road was sandwiched between two high walls, and only two people could pass side by side.

Then, Li Xia also understood what he was going to do when he called Mengren over.

Sure enough, soon, painful screams and angry shouts came from a distance.

Duan Xingzhi could imagine the scene of more than a dozen strong Mongolians being slaughtered in a small corridor just by hearing the sound.

After a long time, Li Xia returned to the lobby, holding a head in his hand, and placed it in front of Duan Xingzhi.

"Tell me, who is he?"

The blood pooled little by little on the table and flowed to the edge.

The expression on the face on the head was still very vivid, glaring angrily, as if it was about to pounce on it at any time.The man was obviously very angry before he died.

Anyone who is attacked by surprise will not be in a good mood.

Although Duan Xingzhi had expected it, he was still terrified and murmured: "This, this..."

"Say, who is he?"

Duan Xingzhi resisted the urge to vomit, and said, "Xi Rigourige, the chief guard under Officer Aulu."

Li Xia didn't care about the dead, but cared more about the living, so he asked, "Who is Officer Aulu?"

"Gedu."

Li Xia asked again: "Where does he live? How many troops are there?"

When Duan Xingzhi heard this, he couldn't help being shocked.

Hearing the meaning from Li Xia's words, did he still want to come to the door and kill Gedu too?
"Li... Li Xianwei, I am not disobedient, but can you allow me to say a few words?"

"No."

Duan Xingzhi turned his head, trying not to look at the head on the case, not to look at Li Xia's face, and muttered to himself: "I am very familiar with the situation in front of me. Back then, when Gao Taixiang took control of the government, he killed the Mongolian envoy in front of me. Minister, the blood splashed the hall, but the result..."

"puff."

"Ah!" Duan Xingzhi screamed, his eyes widened, and he saw a long sword ruthlessly pierced into his thigh.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Huiyuan had tears in her eyes, feeling very distressed.

"Answer my question, don't talk about useless things." Li Xia said.

"Okay, okay. Gedu lives... outside the city, in the Thousand Households in the north of the city. He has 500 people, including nearly a hundred Mongolians..."

"Outside the city?"

"Yes, he doesn't like cities... he likes to live in yurts, he says yes... he says it's 'vast'."

Li Xia frowned, slightly surprised.

Counting the time, Gedu saw the fire in the south of the city, and sent someone into the city to find Duan Xingzhi to ask. In the middle of the night, the action was very fast.

From this point, it can be seen that the Mongolian people's style of work is completely different from that of Dali soldiers.

In the three hundred years since the founding of Dali, it has hardly experienced too much war, and its soldiers are scattered, far inferior to the Song army.But Mengren is different, with strong mobility.

Li Xia was not willing to fight the Mongolian army when he was not fully sure, or if he did not arrange an ambush in advance.

Duan Xingzhi saw him start to think, endured the pain and fear, and said again: "I really... it's for our own good... Don't be like Gao Taixiang... You don't know how terrible it is to be deceived..."

"I know, so I plan to escape."

Duan Xingzhi was taken aback again, unable to figure out what Li Xia was thinking.He thought about it for a while, and he gradually understood... Li Xia had a premonition in his heart, that the Mongolian troops should be able to attack as much as they have, and they will not attack if they exceed that number.

Although it is a very simple thing, it is not easy to do.

This requires a very clear insight and thinking about the situation, a very calm mind, and sufficient confidence in one's own judgment.

This is especially difficult for young people.

From Duan Xingzhi's point of view, this is where Li Xia is really scary...

~~
The sky is dimly bright.

Duan Xingzhi sent someone to the Qianhu Office in the north of the city to explain to Oulu what happened last night.

"Reporting to Aulu, last night there was a roar at Qianhu in the south of the city, causing two hundred prisoners of the Song army to flee in chaos, and they have fled to Cangshan in the west."

Gedu asked: "Where is the person I sent into the city to meet Duan Xingzhi? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"The manager has already seen Xi Rigou Rige, and asked him to help him go to Cangshan to capture the prisoners. This... is really because Marshal Du has dispatched too many people, and the manager has insufficient troops."

"Damn it." Gedu scolded: "You Dali people can't do anything well, and you always need Mongolian warriors to come forward, so what's the use of you?!"

"Please calm down Oulu, the manager will definitely deal with it as soon as possible."

Gedu didn't fully believe Duan Xingzhi's words, he sneered, and looked around the visitor, looking quite scary.

He has been through battle for a long time, when he saw the flames last night, he immediately ordered the soldiers under his command to stand by. He not only sent people into the city to question Duan Xingzhi, but also sent scouts to investigate.

After a while, Tan Ma came back and reported: "Oulu, the captives have indeed fled to Cangshan. They even wanted to rob Wuwei Temple, but were repelled by the guards. The guards saw more than a hundred people..."

Gedou just nodded.

"Tell Duan Xingzhi to deal with these matters within a day."

"Yes……"

~~
Dali Governor's Mansion.

"County Lieutenant, the grain and grass in the Changping warehouse in the east of the city have been inspected."

"Eight hundred stones are enough, there is no need to take more."

Xiong Shan asked, "Did the rest burn?"

Li Xia pondered for a while, and said, "Keep it... Where are the mules, horses, and folk husbands?"

"Duan Xingzhi has been asked to come forward to make arrangements, and all the food and grass can be shipped out before evening."

"Has the person sent to see Gedu come back?"

"just came back."

"Bring it in."

Soon, Yang Ben escorted a Dali official into the hall.

Yang Ben raised his head, looking very proud.

In his opinion, Li Xia said that he was not needed, but when he encountered something that the peasants in the countryside couldn't do, he was used.

Yang Ben spoke clearly, and quickly explained the details of the Dali official's meeting with Gedu.

"That is to say, we still have one day to leave Dali City?"

"Yes."

Li Xia nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go and watch outside the door, and prepare to leave at night."

Yang Ben didn't leave, but clasped his fists and said, "County officer, I observed the Qianhusuo in the north of the city, and the Mongolian army is not strong. We may not be able to defeat them..."

Li Xia interrupted Yang Ben's words and asked, "Where do you think is the most dangerous place for us to take this trip?"

Yang Ben said: "In the territory of Dali, the Mongolian army is empty and the strength of Dali's soldiers is low. There is no great danger."

Li Xia said: "Your thoughts of taking the lead from time to time are the most dangerous. You only see that one or two battles in front of you can be won. But you forget that this is not the Song Dynasty. Once you are dragged back, what will the Qingfu army have to spend?"

Yang Ben was taken aback for a moment, and quickly backed away.

Li Xia rubbed his forehead.

It's not that I haven't said the truth, Li Xia had talked a lot with Gao Nianfeng last night, but today Yang Ben has lost his mind again.Leading others is never easy.

……

After listening to too much advice, Li Xia would occasionally reflect on whether his strategic decision was wrong from the beginning.

Maybe you can really occupy Dali and become the king of Dali?
In the end, Li Xia became more and more convinced of his thoughts.

It was like this when he was learning fencing before, and there were all kinds of voices constantly disturbing him on the road to championship.A lot of people have been judging him, telling him to do all kinds of other things.

Only a firm will can break through these voices and move forward...

~~
Duan Xingzhi was brought out to arrange various things, and was thrown back to the main house.

He secretly calculated that there were at most 50 people who entered Dali City and attacked the general manager's mansion.It is likely that more than a hundred people are still active outside Dali City, attracting the attention of the Mongols.

The Mongols might not have imagined that Li Xia would dare to divide his troops with only 200 people.

Li Xia's courage is really not something ordinary people have.

This move seemed dangerous, but it bought him time for his activities in Dali City. Before the defenders could react, he quickly completed his goal and withdrew.

What's even more frightening is that they all went to the city of Dali to capture the former emperor of Dali. If it were someone else, they would have long wanted to control Dali.

How could Li Xia be so calm?
At such a young age, with such determination, it is hardly human.

Duan Xingzhi gradually understood that the reason why this little Song army was able to travel in and out of Dali was all because of Li Xia.

In addition, the little girl who accompanied Li Xia looked familiar, could it be Gao Taihe's daughter?If these two people really get married, they will become Duan's confidantes...

Duan Xingzhi thought about this, and looked down at the wound on his leg.

He moved his body quietly, put his legs on the table legs, and soon, the wound overflowed with blood.

Duan Xingzhi hummed in pain, looked up at the bald man guarding him, and asked, "This strong man...can you change my medicine and bandage my wound? Look, the wound is bleeding again."

"Why are you so busy?"

"Strong man, my body is weak, if I don't treat the wound well, I will die." Duan Xingzhi said, "Keep me useful to County Lieutenant Li."

Xu Tupiao scratched his head and said, "Wait, I'll ask."

He looked around and saw that Duan Xingzhi and Zheng Huiyuan were both tied up and it was impossible to escape, so he went out of the house to look for Xiongshan.

Duan Xingzhi turned sideways and whispered in Yi language: "Huiniang."

"Lang Jun, you have suffered."

"Huiniang, listen to me... Although this house used to be owned by Gao Taihe, I added a hidden compartment, and they didn't know about it. There is a special way to open the hidden compartment. If you push it directly, there will be poisonous arrows shoot."

Zheng Huiyuan asked: "What does your lord want me to do?"

"When Li Xia comes in, you push the hidden compartment and kill him."
